On Sunday, America lost three of its finest after months of strikes on U.S. forces in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
Three U.S. service members were killed and over 30 injured<\/a> in a drone strike on a military base in northeast Jordan near the Syrian border, according to U.S. Central Command. The attack marks the first American combat deaths<\/a> amid months of strikes on U.S. forces across the Middle East.<\/p>\n The drone slammed into living quarters at Tower 22 base around midnight. U.S. officials believe the drone was fired by Iran-backed militias operating in Syria<\/a> and Iraq.<\/p>\n The event has invoked the fury of many Republican lawmakers<\/a> toward Iran, who enabled the attack via Tehran\u2019s support of regional militias.<\/p>\n Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina<\/a> posted on X<\/a>, \u201cHit Iran now. Hit them hard,\u201d asserting that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin\u2019s attempts at deterrence have \u201cfailed miserably.\u201d Graham said, \u201cThe only thing the Iranian regime understands is force\u201d and advocated for strikes inside Iran itself as retaliation and future deterrence.<\/p>\n Trending:<\/p>\n Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas<\/a> simply wrote on X<\/a>: \u201cTarget Tehran.\u201d<\/p>\n Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas issued a scathing statement<\/a> on Sunday condemning the Biden administration\u2019s \u201cappeasing\u201d of Iran.<\/p>\n Cotton blamed President Biden\u2019s \u201ctolerating attacks on our troops\u201d and \u201cbribing the ayatollahs\u201d through sanctions relief for enabling the strike.<\/p>\n \u201cHe left our troops as sitting ducks, and now three are dead and dozens wounded, sadly as I\u2019ve predicted would happen for months,\u201d Cotton wrote.<\/p>\n Will the United States go to war with Iran?<\/p>\n \nYes: 73% (80 Votes)\n<\/p>\n \nNo: 27% (30 Votes)\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThe only answer to these attacks must be devastating military retaliation against Iran\u2019s terrorist forces, both in Iran and across the Middle East,\u201d Cotton asserted. He described anything less than a major counterattack as confirming Biden as \u201ca coward unworthy of being commander-in-chief.\u201d<\/p>\n Cotton\u2019s words ring true about Biden\u2019s weakness and strategy of bribery, tolerance and appeasement.<\/p>\n Saying \u201cdon\u2019t\u201d as a strategy does not work on three-year-olds, and it clearly has not worked on Iran.<\/p>\n Gee, I wonder why these warnings to Iran didn\u2019t work: pic.twitter.com\/6BqvI4jI6L<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) January 28, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
