Critics took aim at President Biden's Middle East policy after three Americans service members were killed in an attack on a base in Jordan near the border with Syria.

"Hit Iran now," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in a statement after the Sunday attack. "Hit them hard."

Graham's comment comes after three U.S. service members were killed and 25 more were injured in a drone attack on northeast Jordan that sits close to the border with Syria, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed.

I believe the American response will be less than a war but more than a single hit...

America is not into jumping into War like many other countries have been doing for Decades. It is not in USA best interest to get involved in our enemies Wars like Iran and other mid eastern counties who hate America.

I've been angry at this administration for their incredible weakness in almost every single area of modern living these last 3 years (crime, foreign affairs, the border, etc.). But then it dawns on me that as much as I want the U.S. to quit cowering like cowards, I do NOT want Biden to be the one in charge when **** goes down. He just doesn't have what it takes. So....hit Iran or no? Normally I'd say absolutely, but then it hits me that we could actually lose with Biden running things. Better to wait until we get a man in office that will give other nations pause in striking us, and it ain't Biden!

America's policy in the Middle East failed, just as it failed before it in Vietnam and Afghanistan. The main reason is that America manages things only for its own benefit and does not provide the colonial countries with any services. America helped destroy Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon. It imposed an unjust blockade against Sudan and Iran. It worked to prolong the war in Ukraine under the pretext of exhausting Russia. Currently, it strongly supports Israel in its war against the Palestinians and does not support efforts to stop the war. For all this, the countries of the world knew that America was engaging in wars and destruction to no avail. These countries are not ready for America to participate in a war against Iran. Resistance forces in Middle Eastern countries attack American bases and ships because they are Israel's ally and partner in crimes against humanity. Attacking American bases will not stop until American forces leave the region permanently.

After 120 attacks on US military , and in Joes words a few “ minor brain injury’s”,we retaliate with a near nothing response so Joe can have a photo op of his “ strong will to protect our men and their mission.. this newest attack that killed 3 and wounded 30 more shows everybody how much respect or fear our enemies don’t have for us under this weak and inept President..Like Mr. Good Guy, I have no faith in Joe Biden leading us in all out war, especially since our military is low on personal and artillery. I also have no faith in our military experts in his cabinet.. We should
have delivered a unmistakable response on Iran after the first attack . We have known for a long time that Iran was behind these attacks, but Biden’s policy of appeasement has now backfired on him..Maybe cooler heads will prevail in that area from the emergence of a change in OUR leadership that may bring Trump back..

Do you expect the US will carry out retaliatory strikes inside Iran?

It looks like Biden will not order hitting targets in Iran.
