After the attack on the US military base in Jordan, 3 dead and 34 wounded, the United States is ready to strike Iran!
January 29, **iaThe U.S. military base in Jordan suffered heavy losses from a large man-aircraft attack, and now the U.S. is considering retaliation for Iran's instigation of armed groups to attack U.S. military bases in the Middle East, citing a Bloomberg report.
The US military ** command officially announced that the military base in Jordan, codenamed "Tower 22", was attacked yesterday, resulting in the death of three servicemen and the wounding of 34 others. Eight of the wounded servicemen have been evacuated from Jordan to medical facilities in other countries due to their serious injuries**.
Tensions have escalated in areas ranging from Iraq to Syria, Yemen and Lebanon, which are home to pro-Iranian and Iranian-backed armed groups, and U.S. military bases in the Middle East have been attacked about 160 times since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on October 7. The attack on the Jordanian base killed and injured as many as 37 people at one time, which made the US military very faceless and shocked the United States. Biden accused Iran of being the "mastermind" behind the attack.
*ia.According to sources, the U.S. is considering a variety of retaliatory measures, including a military strike on Iran or a "decapitation operation" to target Iranian senior and military personnel. And the commander of the US ** incident also strongly called for a more decisive response than ever before.
Although if the United States does launch a military strike against Iran, it will inevitably lead to a direct armed conflict between the United States and Iran. However, the U.S. military can also carry out "covert operations" against Iran, and even if it hits Iran, it is expected that the U.S. military will be as covert as possible if it does attack Iran, and the strike will be carried out at the right time, rather than immediately after the attack.
On January 29, Russia's TASS news agency also revealed that the United States is considering various options in response to attacks on its Middle East bases, including the possibility of a covert military strike against Iran. The attack, which killed three U.S. soldiers, "will provoke a more decisive response from Washington" on a scale that will surpass the actions taken since the outbreak of the conflict in the Gaza Strip.
Of course, when it comes to relations between the United States and Iran, there are sober people in the United States who believe that force should not be used against Iran. On January 29, another report by Russia's TASS news agency pointed out that Tucker Carlson, a well-known American journalist, called some members of the US Congress who called on US forces to strike Iranian targets "crazy" and "stupid and crazy people."
The Iranian side is also aware of the stakes and has publicly denied any involvement in the attack on the US base. Iran's representative to the United Nations publicly declared that Iran had nothing to do with the attack, stressing that "Biden** and some Republican lawmakers have unfounded links between Iran and the attack on a US military base," Iranian news agency IRNA reported. Iran's spokesman Nasser Kanaani Chaffee also said that "the baseless accusations against Iran are a conspiracy by those who want to re-involve the United States in the conflict in the region and further escalate it, in order to cover up its internal problems." ”
However, Iran's justification may not touch the United States, after all, at this moment, the United States definitely wants to take action against Iran, first, to save some face, and second, to "knock the mountain and shock the tiger" against pro-Iranian armed groups in the Middle East. 29th **iaAnother report by Pro** also revealed that the situation on the border between Jordan and Syria remains tense. There is a real possibility that the United States will act against Iran in the coming hours.
It is worth noting that on the same day that the US military base in Jordan was attacked, the Houthis launched anti-ship missiles at the USS Lewis B. Pouller** in the Gulf of Aden. And the Houthis are also pro-Iranian.
