Breaking news: Attacks on US bases in the Middle East continue in response to Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip. In the statement made by the US Central Command (CENTCOM), it was announced that 3 US soldiers were killed and 34 US soldiers were injured in the drone attack on the base located in Jordan, near the Syrian border.
FIRST STATEMENT FROM BIDEN
US President Joe Biden targeted Iran regarding the drone attack on the base located in Jordan, near the Syrian border. Biden said, “Last night, 3 US soldiers were killed and many others were injured in a drone attack on our forces stationed in northeast Jordan, near the Syrian border. Although we are still gathering the facts about this attack, we believe it was an Iranian-backed attack operating in Syria and Iraq.” “We know that it was carried out by radical militant groups. Rest assured, we will hold all those responsible accountable at a time and in a manner we choose,” he said.
Stating that the attack in question was a “despicable attack”, Biden described the soldiers who died in the attack as patriots and said, “Together, we will fulfill our sacred responsibility towards their families. We will try to be worthy of their honor and glory. “We will continue our determination to fight against terrorism,” he said.
US SOLDIERS WERE KILLED FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE OCTOBER 7
While Tower 22 was targeted for the first time, more than 158 attacks have been carried out against bases housing US soldiers in Iraq and Syria since October 7. In the news in the US press, it was stated that the name of the base in question was Tower 22 and that US soldiers were killed in the Middle East for the first time since October 7, when the conflicts between Israel and Palestine began.
IT IS FREQUENTLY TARGETED WITH kamikaze drones
Aircraft of unknown origin targeted military vehicles belonging to Iranian-backed groups in the ranks of the Bashar Assad regime in Deir ez-Zor on January 24, at a crossing on the Syria-Iraq border. US army bases in Hasakah and Deir ez-Zor have been frequently targeted with rockets and kamikaze UAVs of unknown origin since the beginning of the year.
The Deir ez-Zor lands east of the Euphrates River are under the occupation of the US-backed terrorist organization PKK/YPG, while the city center and other rural areas are under the control of the Assad regime and Iranian-backed groups.
