The Pentagon has prepared several options for responding to a UAV strike on a US base. Biden may issue an order in the coming hours.
US President Joe Biden may authorize US military action in the Middle East in the coming hours. Sky News reported this on the evening of Monday, January 29.
The material argues that this was probably one of the most important decisions of his presidency. At stake is the credibility of American deterrence and regional stability.
The Pentagon will give Biden some options, but the consequences are uncertain and could trigger a wider war.
“The President hopes that his choice in the coming hours will contain any worsening of the situation. This could backfire… He can attack the group responsible, but many see it as weak and not reaching the heart of the problem: the group’s supporters in Iran. The Pentagon’s options also include action against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in the region outside Iran or attacking Iranian targets within its borders,” said the publication.
According to the publication, the Pentagon suggests that the drone attack on American troops in Jordan has “traces” of Kataib Hezbollah, an elite Iraqi armed group close to Iran. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said their response could be “layered, incremental and sustainable over time.”
Officials and experts told reporters that the Biden administration is seeking a response that is “tough enough” to deter Iran and its backers without prompting direct military action.
We remind you that on the night of January 27-28, as a result of a drone air strike on the American military base in Jordan, at least three US military personnel died and many were injured. After that, Republicans called on Biden to strike Iran. Meanwhile, Iran has denied any involvement in the attack on the US base.
