Shocking Brutality in Iran Unsettles Middle East: OfficialACLJ

➡ OfficialACLJ discusses President Biden thinking about how the US should react to a drone attack that hurt and killed some American soldiers in Jordan, near Syria. Some of the soldiers were so badly hurt they had to be taken to different hospitals. We don’t know yet what President Biden will do, but we might not find out until after he’s done it. He was asked if Iran was behind the attack, but he didn’t give a clear answer.

The White House has announced President Biden has made the decision after listening to his advisor on how he wants the US to respond to the drone attack that killed three U. S. Service members in Jordan right on the border of Syria, injured over 30. And, and just to underscore those injuries, about nine or so have been reported that they, they weren’t able to get enough treatment even inside Jordan.

They had to be taken to other military, other hospitals. So that’s how serious their injuries were. And sometimes we focus just on the deaths. We don’t focus on how many people are seriously injured, 30 plus people were. Not only do we have servicemen in certain areas of the world, and maybe we don’t even think so, but you have, like you said, almost these very young group of service people placed in very dangerous situations as we head into this kind of a looming threat.

As you said, President Biden said he hasn’t decided what his action will be. We don’t know that yet. And we likely won’t know that until after that action has occurred or during. If it’s any kind of attack that uses military assets or is some kind of drone or is a cyber attack that you’re going to find out about after the given warning. Right. If it is something more economic that he’s going to announce, that would be something he announces.

There is a big, huge difference between a threat of military action and a credible threat of military action. We call it a credible threat because it’s important to have something that’s credible. When you look at Joe Biden yesterday, who at the White House was asked, did Iran do this? Are they responsible? And he had like a hemming and hawing and technical answer. He was not clear. He hedged.

And not only did Americans see that, but the radical islamic regime in Tehran saw that. And I think it was pretty clear that they think that Joe Biden doesn’t necessarily say that they’re responsible, only that they gave money to these proxies and that the proxies are responsible. He didn’t nail them by saying, of course Iran is responsible. You combine that with really playing this out publicly as to the angst that the administration has over how much of a response to do, and it all comes together to say this is not a very credible response, this is not a credible threat of military action.

This is at a time when Iran has said they have executed Logan for convicted of plotting with israeli intelligence that would be Mossad to attack a military defense factory. That’s where a lot of these missiles, rockets and drones that were used against our own troops, that Hamas has, that Hezbollah also has, are manufactured. So I wouldn’t be necessarily surprised that some of these countries would like to destroy those.

But what’s weird is that there’s reporting on this from a month ago in Al Jazeera and just the last day or two in the US, and some of the names being released are very similar. So you wonder, and a lot of time in Iran, these are public executions by hanging. They make a point. We’re not seeing any of that imagery yet. Whatever’s coming out of Iran, you kind of have to do some deep diving, and a lot of times you’re not going to have a very clear picture.

That being said, even the fact they’re claiming this should alarm a lot of people on how they feel about Israel and how they feel about the US by proxy. In that sense,.
