Attacks Against U.S. Forces Escalate In Middle East As Biden Lacks Response | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Attacks by Iranian-backed terrorists against U.S. forces in the Middle East increased late this week as U.S. officials have grown frustrated by President Joe Biden's lack of a forceful response to deter future attacks.

    Approximately a dozen attacks have been launched against U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria over a roughly 48-hour span, according to Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin.

    Sites that were attacked included Al Asad Air Base, Mission Support Site Euphrates, Rumalyn Landing Zone, Patrol Base Shaddadi, Erbil, Green Village, and the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.

    U.S. forces have come under attack dozens of times in the region since October 17 by Islamic terrorist groups backed by Iran, including missiles and drones that have targeted U.S. Navy warships in the Red Sea.

    U.S. Central Command announced on Saturday that the French Navy "shot down two Houthi drones in the Red Sea off the Coast of Yemen that were launched from Yemen."

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly told Biden that if the U.S. does not take action against the Yemen-based Houthi terrorists, Israel will, which comes after the terrorist group has repeatedly targeted shipping vessels with ties to Israel.

    Numerous U.S. defense officials told POLITICO that Biden's approach to dealing with the situation was problematic because by trying to avoid escalation, the opposite is happening.

    "Near to immediate term, where are the strikes on [Houthi] targets?" said Marc Polymeropoulos, former CIA official, on social media. "Need to see this ASAP."

    Retired Vice Adm. John Miller, the former commander of U.S. 5th Fleet, told POLITICO that the U.S. was "not taking this seriously" because these attacks "have gone largely unanswered."

    "We're not deterring anybody right now," Miller said.
