Iran denies involvement in drone strike that killed three US troops | BBC News

Iran has denied involvement in a drone attack on a US base near Jordan's border with Syria that killed three US troops.

The US blamed the attack, which also left dozens injured, on "radical Iranian-backed militant groups".

US President Biden vowed revenge and said: "We shall respond."

It is the first time that a strike has killed US troops in the region since the start of the war in Gaza triggered by Hamas's 7 October attack on Israel.

There have been other attacks on US bases in the region, but before Sunday there were no fatalities, according to the US military.

Jordan says there is no such base located within Jordan😂.
So where is that base?

[MarySyrianGirl]

Jordan issued a statement that "the incident did not take place on Jordanian territory" Has that been retracted? US ex-servicemen also claim the base is in
Syria.

[StimParavane]

How dare Iran locate their country next to all those US bases.

No body poses this question : What the h... is US doing in the Middle East ??

[MarkDenmark-nzpz]

The Western world should understand that the people in Middle East has the right to defend themselves and now they have the capability to do so .

[gerrya]

"we told them to do it and gave them the weapons to do it, but we didnt do it ourselves so totally had no involvement"

[rubensano]

750 military bases in 80 countries. Tell me you are the aggressor without telling me you are the aggressor.

[khairulhelmihashim]

Iran is doing what US has been doing for decades. providing arms, funds, training, intelligence to proxies, except without any UN veto power.

Where are the most advanced US air defense systems? Patriot and NASAMS . They failed to intercept that drone .

[trevorsutherland]

Just like US denied involvement in Nordstream

[xiahan]

The building of that US military base was not approved by either Syria or Jordan. That base was an illegal presence. So it is a legal target. Unfortunately, American middle class servicemen died for the greed of the rich.

I believe that Iran has the full right to defend itself .

[dearlife]

Inside Syria where you are not invited

[maglay]

i can smell the ''stop genocide in iran'' and'' free iran'' thing

[blissfull]

if iran did or not it doesnt even matter they have the right to defend themself

[hikingviking]

The ignorance in this comments section is astounding.

[daffyddduck]

The Iranians are playing with fire, the west are sick of being bullied

[williamshaw]

I believe Iran before I believe US corporate media.

[solschwarz]

Iran. Very careful to have plausible deniability in all the violence in the region. But undoubtedly involved in some way

[PraveenMalhotra-vnzj]

A drone costs $800 and the missile used to neutralize it a million.
Just uneconomical. Invest for a cheaper option.
