Headline: White House Blames Iran - Backed Umbrella Group
For Deadly Drone Strike.
Summary: The White House has attributed a deadly drone
strike on a US base in Jordan to an Iran - backed militia
umbrella group called the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stated that
US intelligence believes the group was behind the attack.
President Joe Biden has indicated that a response has been
decided. The strike resulted in three US soldiers killed and at
least forty injured. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, allegedly
armed, funded, and trained by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards,
claimed responsibility. While the US contemplates its
response, tensions rise with Iran denying involvement. In a
separate development, Iran - aligned Houthis in Yemen
continue attacks on ships in the Red Sea, prompting
engagements by US forces. The ongoing attacks disrupt
global trade, triggering retaliatory strikes.
