On January 28, local time, a drone attack was carried out on a U.S. military base in northeastern Jordan, near the border between Syria and Iraq, which killed three U.S. soldiers. Preliminary reports indicate that the air defense system may have made human error and failed to intercept the incoming drone in time.
The attack was the first time that U.S. soldiers have been killed in more than 60 attacks on U.S. military installations in Iraq by militias in the region since last October. The details of the attack came as Biden faced difficult choices and pressures.
The attack took place in Jordan, near the border between Syria and Iraq, at Tower 22, a small US military base. Preliminary reports show that in the early morning of the 28th local time, enemy drones attacked. However, when the enemy drone was flying at a low altitude above the base, a US drone happened to return to the base, and the air defense system may have confused the two drones and failed to intercept them in time, allowing the incoming drone to enter the base unhindered and launch an attack near the base camp.
The attack resulted in the death of three army soldiers and the wounding of more than 40 soldiers, eight of whom were taken to a German medical center for reception in serious condition**.
After the attack, the Iraqi militia "Islamic Resistance Group" declared responsibility, but the United States **Biden and the senior *** blamed Iran for this and vowed to "respond." The Iranian side, for its part, denied any involvement in the attack and said that Iran did not have any ** organization in the region. At this time, Biden is faced with a difficult choice, on the one hand, he does not want to go to war with Iran, and on the other hand, he does not want to appear weak and incompetent.
Against this backdrop, former Trump joined the pack, calling the attack "a terrible day for America" and slamming Biden for his weakness and capitulation. Biden**, for his part, said that the United States does not seek war with Iran, but will hold all those responsible accountable when and how it chooses.
The attack is likely to force the United States to react the strongest since the current round of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Some sources believe that Biden may take covert actions against Iran, or he may launch a direct attack on Iran. This has sparked speculation about a U.S. counterattack and pressure on Iran.
The development of the whole incident has brought great challenges and pressure to Biden. In the face of internal and external political pressure, how the United States will choose, as well as its future decisions, will become the focus of international attention.
In this attack, we have seen the diplomatic and military challenges facing the United States, as well as the interweaving and game of various forces in international relations. This is not just a military attack, but a microcosm of an international political game. We look forward to seeing future U.S. decisions and actions, as well as international reactions to this event.
