The Biden Administration has crossed yet another red line and it needs to be held accountable for its reckless actions.
Just yesterday, the United States military carried out airstrikes against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps in Syria. This attack was in response to an earlier drone strike that killed one U.S. contractor and wounded five service members and a second contractor.
This action was taken at the direction of President Joe Biden, who ordered U.S Central Command forces to conduct precision strikes against facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin released a statement shortly after the incident stating that these airstrikes were conducted in response to today’s attack as well as a series of recent attacks against Coalition forces in Syria by groups affiliated with the IRGC.
“At the direction of President Biden, I authorized U.S. Central Command forces to conduct precision airstrikes tonight in eastern Syria against facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC),” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement. “The airstrikes were conducted in response to today’s attack as well as a series of recent attacks against Coalition forces in Syria by groups affiliated with the IRGC.”
Now here’s where things get tricky: The IRGC has been designated as a terrorist group since 2019, but when did this authorization take place? Was there any forethought given to how this would play out on the world stage? And why is President Biden so eager to go up against Iran despite his pledge of “no more endless wars”?
What do you think about President Biden's actions toward Iran? Do you think we should continue engaging militarily or should we be focusing solely on diplomatic solutions? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
