American soldiers are also stationed in the Middle East amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas since October 7. Jordan’s drone attack is also one of the many attacks on them, in which 3 American soldiers lost their lives. America has always been reacting dangerously to the deaths of its soldiers. Meanwhile, an official statement has come out from America’s White House regarding drone attacks in Jordan. In this, an Iraqi terrorist group ‘Islamic Resistance’ has been held responsible for this. It is being said that this is a group of militants who had killed three American service members.
First case of death of American soldiers due to direct firing in recent circumstances.
In this regard, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said that ‘We believe that the planning, resources and facilitation of the attack in Jordan was done by a group called Islamic Resistance in Iraq, which includes several groups including Kata’ib Hezbollah.’ Kirby said Kata’ib Hezbollah was not entirely to blame, but he emphasized that the terror group shares responsibility for previous attacks on US targets. He further said that this is the first time that American soldiers have been killed by direct fire in the Middle East since the attack.
Along with the death of three American soldiers, 40 soldiers were injured.
In addition to the three deaths, more than 40 American soldiers were injured, three of whom were transferred to a hospital in Germany for further treatment, while one remains in stable condition and one in critical condition. Kirby further said that the US is prepared to respond to the attack, with a counter-attack planned in several phases. “We will retaliate in our own time and at our own scheduled time,” he said.
Pressure increases for counter attack on Biden
Earlier, on the issue of death of 3 American soldiers in the drone attack by terrorists on the Tower 22 military post in Jordan, US President Joe Biden had replied that we will give a befitting reply. Meanwhile, the Republican Party put immense pressure on Joe Biden to give a befitting reply to this attack. Meanwhile, so far 150 missile attacks have taken place on American targets in the Middle East. At least three American soldiers were killed and more than 34 were injured. After this, there is pressure from the Republican Party (GOP/Grand Old Party) on President Joe Biden to retaliate on Iran. Of the 150 missile attacks so far on US bases in the Middle East, this is the first time that terrorists have breached the Pentagon’s defense shield and killed military personnel.
