ANALYSIS – Is Trump regretting his VP pick? Will Trump tell Vance he is “fired”? When former President Donald Trump selected J.D. Vance as his vice presidential candidate soon after surviving an assassination attempt, some called the choice bold and a doubling down on Trumpism.
I said he could help Trump make his case in 2024 and be the GOP standard bearer in 2028. Still, I also said I would have preferred Trump had picked a woman, and that I had some reservations about Vance as VP, including his youth and inexperience.
ANALYSIS – The drone strike that killed three American soldiers and wounded almost four dozen others, at a base on the Syria-Jordan border on January 28 highlighted the threats faced by U.S. forces since the Israel-Hamas war erupted in October.
Joe Biden blamed “radical Iran-backed militant groups” for the strike and vowed to hold “all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner of our choosing.”
This most recent attack by Iranian proxies in Syria was apparently too much even for weak and compromised Biden.
The White House has reportedly approved a plan for strikes on Iran-linked targets in Iraq and Syria, but not in Iran itself. And Biden always caveats his forceful remarks with comments that he does not want a wider war.
“Biden and his mouthpieces say we must be ‘proportionate' and ‘measured' when responding to Iran killing U.S. troops. But that's conveying weakness. It's telling Iran that it is acceptable to kill Americans,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) posted Tuesday on X. “Our response should be overwhelming force to deter these attacks.”
The U.S. has said its military response could be multitiered and take place over several days. On Friday some U.S. strikes reportedly began against Iranian proxies in Syria and Iraq. Let's see how forceful they end up being.
But as the New York Post reported: “With nearly a week elapsing since the attack, critics of the Biden administration have warned that the delay has given Iranian military officials and members of Tehran-backed militia groups ample time to go into hiding.”
Iranian sponsored Iraqi militias have carried out more than 150 attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria since Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel, with Team Biden doing almost nothing in response.
His eventual tit-for-tat pinprick strikes against some militant targets only provoked even larger attacks against U.S. and allied forces.
Meanwhile, that hasn't stopped Israel from responding.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards have scaled back deployment of their senior officers in Syria due to a spate of deadly alleged Israeli strikes and will rely more on allied Shiite militia to preserve their sway there….
The Guards have suffered one of their most bruising spells in Syria since arriving a decade ago to aid President Bashar Assad in the Syrian war. Since December, strikes blamed on Israel have killed more than half a dozen of their members, among them one of the Guards' top intelligence generals.
As hardliners in Tehran demand retaliation, Iran's decision to pull out senior officers is driven partly by its aversion to being sucked directly into a conflict bubbling across the Middle East…
Meanwhile, Israel, as always, has been far more decisive and effective than the U.S. under Biden. And if Iran was really averse to a wider war with the U.S., it would be reining in its proxies, not enabling them.
Or more likely, the Iranians believe that the Biden White House, compromised by Iran, is more fearful of escalation than they are.
Beyond the direct attacks on U.S. forces since the war between Israel and Hamas broke out, Houthi rebels, who control northern Yemen, have launched multiple attacks against a range of commercial ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
Container shipping through the Red Sea has dropped by nearly one-third this year as Houthi attacks continue, drawing the U.S. and U.K. into combat – launching attacks against the Houthis' military infrastructure in Yemen.
According to estimates, the United States has more than 50,000 military personnel stationed in the Middle East across a range of bases and regional commands. However, the network of Iran-backed militias and terrorists, which Tehran refers to as the “Axis of Resistance,” includes between 320,000 and 375,000 terrorist fighters.
Attacks by these Iran-backed terrorist groups throughout the Middle East – including the first to kill U.S. service members – have dramatically heightened the risk of regional war. And Joe Biden's weakness and appeasement of Iran has only made things infinitely worse.
