US President Joe Biden has blamed Iran-backed groups for the death of three American soldiers in Jordan. US President Joe Biden says Iran-backed terrorists are behind the attack that killed three American soldiers in Jordan. Dozens of others were also injured in this attack. This information has been given by the media.
Biden said three American soldiers were killed and several were injured in a drone attack on American forces in northeastern Jordan near the Syrian border, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported.
In a statement, he said, “We are still gathering the facts of this attack, we know that this attack was carried out by Iran-backed terrorist groups, which are active in Syria and Iraq.”
On January 28, US President Joe Biden said, “We are committed to fighting terrorism and will take this commitment forward. There is no doubt that whoever is responsible for this, we will hold them accountable.”

They said the attack took place late at night on January 27, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported. He has not given any information about the number of people injured in this attack. But a US official later said that at least 34 personnel were hurt.
Republican Senator Tom Cotton, a vocal critic of US President Biden, said, “The only response to these attacks must be devastating military retaliation against Iran’s terrorist forces.”
Jordan condemned the “terrorist attack” on a military site, saying it was trying to strengthen its border security in cooperation with the United States.
Earlier, a government spokesman had claimed in Amman that the attack was not carried out on Jordanian soil, but rather on a US base across the border in Syria.
It is noteworthy that Jordan is a close ally of America in the Middle East. About 3,000 troops have been deployed there by the Pentagon.
US troops have been active in Syria in recent years fighting the Islamic State (IS) extremist group and others.
