Republicans urge US President Joe Biden to respond harshly to drone attack on a US military base in Jordan that killed three US Army soldiers.
This is reported by USNews.
Former President Donald Trump characterized the attack as "a consequence of weakness and capitulation of Joe Biden."
Progressive Democrat representing Barbara Lee expressed concern that Biden's strategy to deter the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza is failing.
Democratic Congressman Seth Moulton, who served in Iraq as a Marine, opposed Republican calls for war, saying that " deterrence is hard; war is worse."
Experts warn that any strikes on Iranian Forces inside Iran could force Tehran to respond with force, escalating the situation in a way that could involve the United States in a larger war in the Middle East.
President Biden responded by promising to bring those responsible for the attack "to justice."
According to experts, Biden's response options could range from targeting Iranian forces outside and even inside Iran or choosing a more cautious attack in response solely against Iranian-backed militants.
Earlier "Apostrophe" reported that on January 12, the U.S. and British Armed Forces launched a series of strikes on numerous facilities of the Yemeni Houthis.
