By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

US blames group of Iran-backed militias for deadly drone attack in Jordan as it weighs reprisals

US hits hard at militias in Iraq and Syria, retaliating for fatal drone attack

Hand over heart, Biden joins grieving families of US troops killed in Jordan as remains arrive home

America retaliates in Middle East

The U.S. began striking Iran-linked targets in Syria and Iraq yesterday in response to last weekend's deadly attack on U.S. forces in Jordan, the U.S. Central Command said.

The big picture: While President Biden faced pressure from some lawmakers to strike inside Iran, U.S. officials have stressed the administration does not want to see a wider war in the region, Axios' Barak Ravid reports.

  • The retaliatory strikes, which were launched at Biden's direction, are expected to last several days.
  • They come nearly a week after the U.S. says an Iran-backed militia killed three American soldiers and wounded more than 40 others in a drone attack near the Jordan-Syria border.

CENTCOM said the strikes hit more than 85 targets linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and affiliated militia groups in Iraq and Syria.

  • The Iraqi government said 16 people were killed and 25 were wounded in the U.S. strikes. The Islamic resistance in Iraq said last night that it attacked two U.S. bases in Syria and one U.S. base in Iraq in retaliation.
  • The Syrian military said soldiers and civilians were killed in the U.S. strikes in Syria.
  • The Iranian foreign ministry condemned the strikes and called it a strategic mistake.

The bottom line: Attacks targeting U.S. bases and forces have increasingly drawn America more directly into the Middle East crisis, but officials are also working to contain the risk of an all-out regional war.

  • Secretary of State Tony Blinken will make his fifth trip to the region next week, with stops in Israel, the occupied West Bank, Qatar, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, the State Department said yesterday.
