They don’t know if Iran was involved, but they plan to move one step closer to realizing the neocon and Israel dream of war with Iran. From Dave DeCamp at antiwar.com:
Plans to bomb Iranian personnel in Iraq and Syria have been approved anyway
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Thursday admitted the US does not know if Iran was operationally involved in the drone attack in Jordan that killed three American soldiers. On the same day, US officials told CBS News that plans have been approved for strikes against Iranian personnel and facilities in Iraq and Syria.
When asked by a reporter how much Iran knew about the Jordan drone attack or if it was operationally involved, Austin said, “You know, we believe that this was done by an element of what is known as the Axis of Resistance, and these are Iranian proxy groups. And how much Iran knew or didn’t know, we — we don’t know, but it really doesn’t matter because Iran sponsors these groups.”
Austin said that if the Shia militias the US believes were responsible for the attack were not supported by Iran, these “kinds of things don’t happen.”
The US has said it believes the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of Iraqi militias, was responsible for the attack. Kataib Hezbollah announced Tuesday it was suspending attacks on US troops in Iraq and Syria, which was the result of pressure from the Iraqi government and Iran, making it clear Tehran does not seek more escalations in the region.
Cue the brilliant beer commercial.
Let the externals know how unified we are with everyone on the same page.
Reminds me of the JFK quote about chaos and disunity being the certain path to war.
BTW-RF wants to return missiles to Cuba after FUSA stated that nukes were going to be placed in UK.
Nikita and JFK have left the building and the only winning move is not to play are off the table with the current crop of UNI morons.
