Members phkrause Posted January 31 Author Members Share Posted January 31 An enemy drone that killed American troops in Jordan was mistaken for a US drone, preliminary report suggests Asked if the failure to shoot down the enemy drone was “human error,” Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh responded that the U.S. Central Command was still assessing the matter. Read more. Key developments: A U.S. drone was returning to the small installation known as Tower 22 as the enemy drone was flying in at a low altitude, according to a preliminary report cited by two anonymous officials, who were not authorized to comment. As a result, there was no effort to shoot down the enemy drone that hit the outpost. The attack, which U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration blames on Iranian-based proxies, adds another layer of complexity to an already tense Mideast situation as his administration tries to keep the Israel-Hamas war from expanding into a broader regional conflict. Iran on Monday denied it was behind the Jordan strike. “These claims are made with specific political goals to reverse the realities of the region,” Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency quoted foreign ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani as saying. Iran regularly denies involvement in attacks linked back to it through the militias it arms across the wider Mideast.

Members phkrause Posted February 4 Author Members Share Posted February 4 US hits hard at militias in Iraq and Syria, retaliating for fatal drone attack WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military launched an air assault on dozens of sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian-backed militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Friday, in the opening salvo of retaliation for the drone strike that killed three U.S. troops in Jordan last weekend. https://apnews.com/article/attack-military-iran-iraq-houthis-229a735edbb7759ba9ade543013917df? Hand over heart, Biden joins grieving families of US troops killed in Jordan as remains arrive home DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. (AP) — Standing solemnly under gray skies, President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden joined grieving families at Dover Air Force Base on Friday to witness the return of three American service members killed in last weekend’s drone attack in Jordan. https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-dignified-transfer-jordan-israel-hamas-war-c4b923a6a5178ecd3d3957d7aba7ff6f? 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.

Members phkrause Posted February 6 Author Members Share Posted February 6 At least 6 Kurdish fighters are killed in a drone attack on a Syrian base housing US troops The U.S.-backed, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces said Monday the attack hit a training ground at al-Omar base in Syria’s eastern province of Deir el-Zour and accused “Syrian regime-backed mercenaries” of carrying out the attack. No casualties were reported among U.S. troops. Read more. Why this matters: The drone strike is the first significant attack in Syria or Iraq since the U.S. launched retaliatory strikes over the weekend against Iran-backed militias that have been targeting its forces in the region. The attack late Sunday came two days after the U.S. military carried out strikes in Iraq and Syria that hit over 85 targets at seven locations in retaliation for the killing of three American soldiers at a U.S. base in Jordan. The Biden administration has so far appeared to stop short of directly targeting Iran within its borders.
