If this turns out to be Iranian backed militas, this is going to be a big esclation, when it comes to Iran. I always knew eventually U.S. troops were eventually going to get killed, and if that happened, things were going to enter a new phase. Iran better hope they had nothing to do with it.
This was bound to happen eventually. How we could let anyone continue to attack our troops deliberately for months now is beyond me.
Rain hellfire.
Oh boy, actual killed is very different than minor injuries from drone attacks.
This is Major
Iran’s backed rebels keep provoking and attacking the US, then they pretend to be the victim when the US responds back. And also blame the US for escalating tension in the Middle East
cant wait for the retaliation and the amount of keyboard warriors who will call the US the aggressors
Hold on to your butts. This isn’t gonna be good.
Was only a matter of time with the constant attacks Sadly, RIP
Damn, Jordan isn’t supposed to be a dangerous deployment. RIP.
Months ago, the U.S. should have already stuck targets within Iran or their proxies with much less restraint.
Limiting the damage of retaliatory strikes to coincide with that suffered by your forces solely serves to telegraph to the enemy how far they may push you. Pursuing such a course of action makes the enemy dictate the terms. Deterrence is effective when you show that you are willing to inflict damage that exceeds that which was suffered by you. This supposed “prevention of escalation” is completely counterproductive.
The powder keg is about to go off.
Plenty of US blood was spilled on 10/7 and some of the American hostages could still be alive, seems pretty easy to ignore civilian loss
Congratulations, whoever made the attack just entered the find out phase.
Let’s try out this B21 Raider
Oh boy…. Middle East… get ready.
There’s some American war planners dusting off a dictionary from the 1980s to look up the definition of “proportional.”
Iranian-backed “proxies” are almost certainly responsible for this attack, just as they are for hundreds of others against U.S. forces across the Middle East for months. There must be an overwhelming and sustained military response as these attacks will continue regardless.
Anything less would signal to Iran and the rest of the world that there are no (or few) consequences for killing American service members. That is unacceptable. If you allow the bully to harass and abuse you, he will continue to do so as he fears no repercussions and is emboldened by your inaction. Bring the fight to them.
Since October Iranian proxies have attacked US positions with suicide drones and rockets 150+ times inflicting 83 minor injuries.
It’ll take many months maybe even a year to safely remove US arms and forces from Syria and Iraq and the “axis of resistance” will still keep attacking throughout that.
I can’t see Nujabaa surviving much long after this tbh.
158 attacks against US and coalition forces since October 17… Honestly at this point bomb a drone factory in Iran, that is not war mongering that is just self defense at this point.
Iran needs to be dealt with. Either coup or military action, but we can’t let the largest sponsor of terror operate without resistance any longer
Iran and Palestinians are assassinating Americans, f^*k them
Russia pushing Iran to keep pushing their proxies to escalate
This is going to get worse
So realistically, what would a U.S. response to Iran from this event look like?
Why do I hear fortunate son playing outside?
Wish the families all the respect they deserve very sad
Revenge? That’s probably what should happen but it’s election year and Biden won’t mess his hands
I highly doubt this is going to be a flashpoint. Every time something happens in the Middle East since 7th October, random Redditors claim ‘this is it’. It hasn’t been so far, it won’t be after this. At most it will trigger further airstrikes. I’d be astonished if the US and its allies did beyond what they’ve been doing since Operation Inherent Resolve started near on a decade ago. It is clearly the strategy of the Iranians to try to goad the US into a foreign policy decision that will create more division in an already fractious American political environment. If the US public was baying for retribution, maybe, but I doubt that is the case.
Also, bear in mind that we’ve pink misted like 80,000 jihadists in this operation for a couple dozen combat deaths. It’s a ratio of 4,000 to 1. Sounds like a winning strategy to me. No need to change it.
With the way the U.S. has been trying to avoid escalation, I’m not sure these soldiers will be properly avenged. They need to assassinate some high level Iranian military fuck or disintegrate thousands of terrorists.
I’m tired of us saying “we’re the strongest military ” blah blah…show these fuckers already and turn them into a crater.
Time for the West to admit that we can’t coexist with radical Islam. There is no peace solution except one side going away.
The truly scary part is the amount of mainstream Muslims that support the radical ones
Condolences to the families. Another seat that will be empty at the dinner table.
The world really is gearing up for a third war aren’t we?
I’ve got a brother in law stationed somewhere in Jordan right now. To say I am distressed is an understatement. RIP to those killed.
Iran has won the toss and has elected to receive.
Part of me wants to see the militaty unleashed unleash and start stacking bodies.
The other part me remembers what it was like to lose friends, brothers, fathers, and sons in a war that was unwinnable and largely pointless.
Ultimately I think Biden ends up doing very little. Its an election year and, honestly, I think the American people are fatigued with Middle East conflicts.
Fuck Iran
Well I hope Khamenei and his 190k IRGC has said their good byes and have their estates in order.
Holy shit, what the fuck is Iran thinking? They think that starting a fight they will lose is gonna bring the mahdi or something? Idiots
No troops this time. Just long-range bombing of their weapons, hideouts, homes, and the governments that support them. The only way this ends is if the citizens of those countries decide that they would rather turn over the terrorists than live under artillery fire.
> the drone was fired by Iran-backed militants and appeared to come from Syria.
Piece of shit Iran wouldn’t dare to fire those drones directly from their country.
It would be a shame if Iranian structures outside of Iran would be “damaged”.
