    U.S. forces struck weapons facilities used by Iran in Syria on Wednesday in response to continued attacks on forces throughout the region.

    Iran and its terrorist proxy groups throughout the region have launched 22 attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq and another 18 attacks against U.S. forces in Syria, leading to 46 U.S. soldiers being injured, including 25 who have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries.

    Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said in a statement that the "self-defense" strikes were on "a facility in eastern Syria used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups."

    "This strike was conducted by two U.S. F-15s against a weapons storage facility," he said. "This precision self-defense strike is a response to a series of attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by IRGC-Quds Force affiliates."

    This was the second such strike U.S. forces have launched against Iranian forces in Syria over the last couple of weeks. The administration has not released any footage of the strikes.

    Austin added that the U.S. will continue to conduct counter-ISIS missions in Iraq and Syria.

    The Biden administration has faced intense criticism over its soft stance toward Iran, which is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism and which played a significant role in Hamas' October 7 terrorist attack against Israel.

    The administration has downplayed Iran's involvement in the attacks, despite numerous credible reports to the contrary, "in the hope of maintaining a nuclear understanding with Tehran once Israel's war against Hamas ends," the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) said in a recent analysis.

    "In yet another attempt to appease Tehran, the United States allowed UN prohibitions on Iran's ballistic missile and drone programs to lapse on October 18," the report added. "The administration did not work with European powers to trigger the snapback of UN sanctions."

In the minds of many, since January 20, 2021, the World has become far less safe in every theater of conflict, beginning with the attack of Israel by Iran /Hamas, so the question becomes: What caused this Worldwide calamity of extreme geopolitical dysfunction, and what will correct it?

  Joe Biden is the cause of this frightening Worldwide situation, and it will end when a Republican is elected president.

  This delayed Worldwide dysfunction and constant conflict is all Donald Trump's fault, as it is with everything that occurs going forward, and long before the man ever became the 45th president..

  Joe Biden is the "root cause" of this frightening Worldwide situation, and it will end when former President Donald John Trump is elected president.

  In the imitable words of Alfred E. Newman: "What, me worry?"

26 days after the October 7th Terror attacks on Israel, where over 1400 Jewish men, women and children were gruesomely murdered, and hundreds more made hostage: Should the Biden /Harris administration finally state that the administration's primary Middle East negotiating partner, Iran, is behind the funding and strategy of the aggressors, the Hamas Terrorists, or continue to take the more moderate position of "Don't," which is clearly not working?

  Yes, name Iran as the funding /strategy culprit, and begin to enforce the President Trump era sanctions to END Iran's ability to prosecute this war against Israel and the United States.

  No, Iran is a valuable partner in the motives of the Biden / Harris administration, and must not be named as the culprit and our enemy.

  I have larger concerns just to survive in this economy.
