Al-Houthi: Attack on military base in Jordan sends message to US policy

 According to ArabNews, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi added: “America must understand the meaning of the attack on its base in northeast Jordan.” U.S. forces in the West Asia, Central Asia and East Africa region, known as CENTCOM, announced Sunday evening that an overnight drone attack on a U.S. base in Jordan killed three U.S. troops and wounded dozens of others. Sami Abu Zuhri, one of the leaders of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), on Sunday evening, reacting to reports of the death and injury of a number of American soldiers on the Jordanian-Syrian border, said that the incident sends a message to Washington about the killing of Gazans. Abu Zuhri added that the death of three American soldiers is a signal to the US government that if the killing of innocent people in the Gaza Strip does not stop, it will have to confront the entire Islamic nation. The American television channel Fox News noted on Sunday evening that the drone attack on a US military base in Jordan near the Syrian border was the deadliest attack on US troops in recent years. In this regard, an analyst on West Asian issues in Britain said that the drone attack on a US base in Jordan, which led to the death of 3 US troops, indicates the need for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip to prevent the spread of conflicts in the region. Alistair Boncal, Sky News Network's West Asia correspondent, wrote in a note: "The deaths of three US soldiers are the first such event since October 7 (Operation Al-Aqsa Storm) that could lead to an escalation of the conflict." Reacting to the recent attacks on the US base and the death of three US soldiers, the secretary general of Kataib Seyed al-Shahada, one of the Iraqi Islamic resistance groups, said: “America's heart is broken by the death of these three soldiers, but the martyrdom and injury of almost 100,000 Palestinians they are not disadvantaged in any way in the Gaza Strip.” Former US President Donald Trump, without mentioning Washington's full support for the Zionist regime, in reaction to the drone attack on a US military base in Jordan, noted that the attack was a terrible result of the weakness and capitulation of Joe Biden's government.

Trump also said that if he were president, Sunday's attack would not have happened, saying America must immediately return to a policy of peace through force. US President Joe Biden, in turn, promised Washington's response to the drone attack on US troops in northeast Jordan near the Syrian border. Biden, who was briefed by the White House national security team on the latest developments related to the drone attack on the US base at Tanf in northeast Jordan, said in an emergency meeting with his deputy Kamala Harris that America knows the attack was carried out " Iranian-backed militia groups." On the other hand, Reuters, citing several American officials, reported that the attack on the American base was not carried out by Iran. Adam Smith, chairman of the US House Armed Services Committee, also said that the attack on the US military base in Jordan must be responded to, and stressed: “However, it does not appear that Iran ordered this attack.” Meanwhile, the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the UN said on Sunday evening that Iran had nothing to do with the attacks and said that the conflict was started by the US army against resistance groups in Iraq and Syria and such a confrontation between them is bilateral. Since October 7, 2023, with the full support of Western countries, especially the United States and Britain, the Zionist regime began massacres in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank against the defenseless and oppressed people of Palestine, and the complete silence of the international community and human rights communities in the face of the crimes of the Zionist regime led to the continued killing of women and Palestinian children by the illegitimate military Zionist regime. For almost 4 months, the Zionist regime, using the most advanced weapons, including fighter jets, drones, tanks and various modern types of missiles and bombs, most of which were made by European countries and the United States, has been attacking the Gaza Strip. The Zionist regime has killed 26 thousand 422 residents of the Gaza Strip and injured more than 6 5 thousand 87 since the beginning of the Zionist regime's attacks on the Gaza Strip, 70% of whom are women and children.
