US Troops Killed by Iran-Backed Drone Attack in Jordan

Tragically, Iran’s proxy drone strike killed three U.S. service members at a military base in Jordan. How will President Biden respond to this deadly attack on U.S. troops?

Fox News reports the latest on the victims of the deadly drone attack:

The number of injured continues to climb after Iran-backed militias killed three U.S. service members and injured dozens more in an overnight attack on a military base in northeast Jordan.

By late Sunday, the number of injured had climbed to 34 service members. This included at least eight personnel whose injuries warranted an evacuation from Jordan to higher-level care.

So far, Iran has denied all responsibility for the drone strike. But the Biden Administration has announced that it believes Iran is behind the attack and that America will respond. We anxiously await to see what measures the President will take to ensure this kind of attack doesn’t happen again.

Make no mistake: This attack didn’t happen in a vacuum. Can you really trust what the Administration is telling you about the state of the Middle East and why the U.S. still has so many troops deployed around the world?

The Administration must respond to the Iranian attack and explain clearly to the American people why we’re responding. The President has failed to give a speech that gives a clear vision for winning in our foreign policy decisions. We need strong communication and leadership from this ineffective Administration.

Don’t forget that Iran funds Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis – all perpetrators of deadly attacks in the last few months. Where did they get this money to attack the U.S. and Israel?

Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell joined the show to explain how the Biden Administration has replenished Iran’s funds:

Let’s be very clear that the Biden Administration has paid for this war – they are the ones who have been funding Iran. They have done sanctions relief, they’ve done credit, and they’ve done cash. All total, more than $100 billion has been given to the Iranians. And how do the Iranians respond? Well, they certainly continue to get their nuclear weapon. They’re on that road. They’ve launched a war throughout the Middle East in a variety of ways. Let’s not forget Lebanon with Hezbollah, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Yemen. . . . The whole region now has become funded with Iranian proxies, and we’ve just seen them put two satellites into space. . . . They’re flush with cash, thanks to Joe Biden.

It’s undeniable that weak U.S. foreign policy has resulted in dead Americans. The Biden Administration failed to respond adequately to the Houthis attack, continues to fund a pay-for-slay program, horrifically botched the withdrawal in Afghanistan, etc. A weak foreign policy that bends the knee to enemies like Iran creates a more dangerous world for the U.S. and Israel.

The ACLJ is taking direct action to address the weak foreign policy that endangers Americans. We continue to sound the alarm about the Biden Administration funding our enemies and file lawsuits over disastrous foreign policy decisions.

Our European affiliate, the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ), recently sent a letter to the U.N.’s Independent Commission of Inquiry demanding an investigation into UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) after Hamas was caught using the group’s facilities for military purposes.

Of course, the shocking news also broke that UNRWA staff participated in the October 7 attack on Israel. The report that the U.S. has finally cut funding to UNRWA is a good start – read our analysis.

We also continue to file lawsuits and demand answers for disastrous foreign policy decisions. The Biden Administration removed the Houthis from the Foreign Terrorist Organization list in 2021 – and now chaos has ensued in the Red Sea, resulting in President Biden reversing his initial decision. We’ve filed a FOIA lawsuit to get to the bottom of this disastrous foreign policy.

Today’s Sekulow broadcast fully analyzed the deadly drone attack on U.S. soldiers and how the Biden Administration should respond. We also explained the ICJ’s ruling regarding Israel’s right to self-defense. The ACLJ had sent briefs to 50 countries in defense of Israel – we nowfear that enemies will abuse the ruling to delegitimize Israel. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also joined to comment on Biden’s weak foreign policy that has emboldened Iran.
