U.S. Troops Killed in Drone Attack
In a recent political development of ongoing tensions in the Middle East, a U.S. Base attack resulted in the death of three army soldiers and over thirty others injured. The attack occurred in North-East Jordan, near the border of Syria, officials of the U.S. reported.
The incident marked the first time the troops have been killed by the enemies in the region since the Gaza war. President Joe Biden, regarding the attack, said, “We shall respond.”
The attack came from Syria, seemingly from an Iran-backed militant group, reports revealed. However, it remains to be seen which militia group specifically perpetuated the attack. However, Iran denies involvement in the attacks. President Biden said, “We know it was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq.”
A spokesperson for Iran’s foreign ministry, Nasser Kanaani, said in a statement that “regional resistance” groups do not take orders from Iran. “We believe the region does not need more tension or a new war,” he added.
Air Defenses and Failed Interceptions
It is unclear why air defenses failed to foresee and intercept the drones, leaving many suspicious of the nature of the attack. The U.S. Army and Air Force are usually not one to demonstrate negligence in matters of safety. Moreover, the U.S. Army is quick to retaliate against the groups.
Tensions in the region is certainly worsening, with many armies now involved.
