Trump :
launches attack on Biden following 3 U.S.
soldiers killed on Jordan's Syrian border
Former US President Donald Trump issued a statement expressing condolences to
the families of US soldiers killed in an attack on the Jordan-Syria border
and blaming Joe Biden's administration for the attack.
"The drone attack on a U.S. military facility, which killed 3 U.S.
service members and injured others, marks a terrible day for America,"
Trump said in a statement on his Truth Social page on Sunday evening.
"I extend my deepest condolences to the families of the brave soldiers we have lost
and ask all Americans to join me in praying for those who have been injured."
"This attack on the United States is another terrible consequence of Joe Biden's
weakness and surrender," Trump said in his statement.
Three years ago Iran was weak
broken and completely under control," he said, explaining that Biden's decision to
supply billions of dollars to Iran had increased instability in the Middle East
leading to incidents such as the recent drone attack.
The former president stressed that the United States could
not survive Joe Biden as commander-in-chief.
Trump noted that the attack was mainly due to Biden's weakness
and surrender in dealing with Iran.
The United States Central Command announced that 3 soldiers had been killed
and 25 wounded in a drone attack targeting a base in northeastern Jordan
and the Pentagon said that a serious escalation
had been experienced by United States forces in Jordan.
The White House
reported that Defense Secretary Austin
National Security Adviser Sullivan and Deputy National Security Adviser briefed
Biden this morning on details of the attack against U.S. service members in
northeast Jordan near the Syrian border.
The Jordanian government denied the attack on the Kingdom's territory, stressing
that the Tanf base in Syria was targeted near the Jordanian-Syrian-Iraqi border.
US Secretary of Defense:
We will not condone attacks on
our forces in the Middle East and will respond to them
"Iranian-backed forces are responsible for the ongoing attacks on American
military personnel, and we will take the necessary steps to protect
the United States and our forces in a timely and appropriate manner."
