Instead of a soft tone, America gave a stern warning this time. The Iran-backed Houthi and Hezbollah militant groups have been attacking for several days targeting the military bases and naval forces of the allied countries in support of Israel in Palestine. In the beginning, America has only warned Iran and militant organizations in this regard. They said that the Pentagon does not want war. President Joe Biden has been under increasing pressure at home following the recent death of 3 American soldiers in a drone strike in Jordan. This time, Biden warned to change his tune.
He said, if one more American is harmed, they will respond consistently. “Today we begin to respond. We will choose the place and the time,” Biden said on Saturday.
Today it has become clear that this is not an empty noise. According to sources, on Saturday, the United States launched an aerial attack on dozens of terrorist bases in Iraq and Syria. In at least seven locations, Iranian Revolutionary Guards arsenals, headquarters, and intelligence offices were selectively targeted. Attacks on 85 such targets have been reported. This is not the end, today Biden’s hunker got that glimpse.
Incidentally, from October 18 to January 30, at least 166 attacks were carried out by Iran-backed militant groups targeting American troops. Of these, 67 were attacked in Iraq, 98 in Syria, and one in Jordan. The latest attack took place on January 29. At Al-Assad Air Force Base in Iraq. However, there was no loss of American troops that day.
