Since the outbreak of the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, US military bases in the Middle East have been attacked hundreds of times, but on the 28th of last month, it was the first time that US soldiers were killed.
The attack on a US base in Jordan killed three soldiers and injured more than 40 others was the first time that the United States had suffered such a fatal blow since the outbreak of the current round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which means that the spillover of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has made the situation in the entire Middle East more and more tense.
In the aftermath of the attack, both the White House and the Pentagon pointed the finger at Iran, saying that the militant group that attacked the U.S. military base was funded by Iran. The U.S.** said the attack had many of the same characteristics as more than 100 previous attacks by Iranian-backed militant groups.
According to the United States' consistent practice of "hitting whoever it wants," even if they cannot find evidence, it is very likely that they will launch a counterattack with any excuse. But what people didn't expect was that less than 24 hours after they said that they would "settle scores" with Iran, the White House, the Pentagon, and the National Security Council all said that they "do not seek war with Iran."
Although Iran has come forward to deny that it has anything to do with this incident, in order to prevent the US military from suddenly attacking, the Iranian army has quickly entered a state of combat readiness, and it is reported that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iranian armed groups have all moved. However, the softened attitude of the United States caught them off guard, not to mention Iran, and even the international community felt very uncomfortable with this "change of face" of the United States.
Biden's decision not to go to war with Iran may not be because he doesn't want to fight, but because he found that he couldn't fight, so he compromised. On the one hand, Iran, as a powerful country in the Middle East, will definitely be a tough battle once it starts, while the United States only wants to fight a first-class war, and does not want to let itself be mired in the quagmire of war in the Middle East.
On the other hand, the United States does not want to make trouble for itself in the first year, especially Biden, who has been labeled a "war maniac", and provoking a war with Iran is tantamount to asking for his own death. What's more, at the moment, they are fighting on multiple fronts, and it is even more undesirable to open up another battlefield.
In any case, the attitude of the United States not wanting to break out into a military conflict with Iran has proved that they are going downhill, and they must have been fought long ago in their heyday, and they will not hesitate and look forward to the future as they are now.
