The senators are calling on Biden to “hold the terrorist regime of Iran and its extremist proxies accountable for the attacks they have committed against US and coalition forces.”
Members of the Republican Party in the United States Congress called on President Joe Biden’s administration to avenge the deaths of three US military personnel in Jordan and to strike Iran. Politico wrote this on Sunday, January 28.
Armed Services Committee member Roger Wicker appears to be calling for action. He said it was “time for the United States to act decisively as the world watches.”
“We must respond to these repeated attacks by Iran and its proxies by directly targeting Iranian targets and its leadership. It is time to act quickly and decisively as the world watches ,” he said.
In this regard, Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, called on the Biden administration to strike important targets inside Iran “not only as revenge for the killing of our forces, but as a deterrent against the coming aggression.” “
Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) wrote: “The only response to these attacks must be a devastating military strike against Iranian terrorist forces, both in Iran and in the Middle East.”
Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) said the US needs to “target Tehran.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson also said the United States must “send a crystal clear message to the world that attacks on our troops will not be tolerated.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called for action that would go against not only the organizations that carry out the attacks, but also “their Iranian sponsors who wear American blood as a badge of honor.”
It will be recalled that at least three US military personnel were killed and 25 others were injured as a result of a drone attack on an American base on the border of Jordan and Syria.
The night before Tuesday, January 16, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched strikes on targets in Iraq and Syria. The Iranian side claimed that “ballistic missiles were used to destroy the spy centers and concentrations of anti-Iranian terrorist groups in the region at night.” Specifically, the target of the strike was allegedly “the spy headquarters of the Israeli Mossad in Iraqi Kurdistan.”
