With an increasing risk of military escalation in the region, U.S. officials were working to conclusively identify the precise group responsible for the attack, but they have assessed that one of several Iranian-backed groups was behind it.

A newer BBC article…

US drone attack: Three US troops killed in drone strike on US base in Middle East

A Jordanian government spokesman, Muhannad Moubaideen, however, told state TV that the attack targeted al-Tanf base in Syria.

    They could’ve simply stayed in the US and not get blown up by drone strike. But we all make mistakes. Hopefully they will learn from this and avoid it next time.

    Their sacrifice helps to protect Joe Biden’s ongoing genocide against children. Also, I would have survived. Just saying. I would have dodged.

          The hurtbox0 for regular suicide drones is only 7 frames but the red suicide drone’s hurtbox lasts for 11 frames so you need an Adp stat of at least 19 to avoid taking damage.

      They are wanting to use the phrase “The King of Jordan invited us” and the other phrase if they are caught is “but but the Kurds and ISIS!”.

      They totally bank on collective amensia and ignorance.

      The “well this wouldn’t have happened under Trump” MAGA crowd half forgot Trump refused to remove the troops from Syria and directly said we were there for the oil. Nearly all of the MAGA crowd wants us to militarize the southern border and start stacking other dead brown people over there.

      It’s because the neocons want to use this as casus belli for striking Iran, and illegal US bases in Syria are valid targets according to international law, whereas the bases in Jordan aren’t illegal

    Looks like it’s a base called Al-Tanf in Syria actually.

    And this makes me think those rumours that US troops are about to be pulled out of Syria entirely might be true @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net

    Three military affiliated Americans dead in militia involved droning, claims Democrat Party sources

    COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Three American service members were found dead in a drone involved strike in northeast Jordan near the Syrian border, President Joe Biden claimed in a statement Sunday. Joe Biden is affiliated with the American Democrat Party, the same group responsible for the many deaths of Vietnam War launched on 3/8/65. The group attributed the strike to Iran-backed militia groups. The AP has not verified these claims

    Attacks on US military bases are particularly dangerous due to the large quantities of ketamine that are stored there.

    Iran denies involvement in drone attack that killed 3 US troops in Jordan

    As we have clearly stated before, the resistance groups in the region are responding [to] the war crimes and genocide of the child-killing Zionist regime and… they do not take orders from the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Nasser Kanaani was quoted saying by IRNA on Monday.

    “These groups decide and act based on their own principles and priorities as well as the interests of their country and people.”

    Kanaani said claims of Iranian involvement were motivated by “specific political goals to reverse the realities of the region” and were “influenced by third parties, including the child-killing Zionist regime”.

    Does anyone else remember that time Obama went to Congress to get authorization to do war shit in Syria? Congress said no and hasn’t voted on it since as far as I know and we’re occupying part of it now lol.
