U.S. politicians are demanding that President Biden “hit Iran hard” in retaliation for three U.S. troops killed in Jordan. At least 30 American troops were injured.
Iran says that it was not behind the attack. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said this about it:
“As we have clearly stated before, the resistance groups in the region are responding [to] the war crimes and genocide. They do not take orders from the Islamic Republic of Iran. These groups decide and act based on their own principles and priorities as well as the interests of their country and people.”
Both President Joe Biden and UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron said that Iran was behind the attacks though. President Biden said that he condemned the “despicable and wholly unjust attack” and has vowed to hold all those responsible “to account at a time and in a manner [of] our choosing.”
Senator John Cornyn said this a post X: “Target Tehran.” Senator Lindsey Graham, who never misses a chance to bang the drum of any war ever, called for the U.S. to “Hit Iran now. Hit them hard.”
