They've already taken responsibility, so Biden might need to spin that lie a bit differently.
INTL Rocket Attack by Iranian-Backed Militias reported against the U.S. Bases at the Conoco Gas Fields and Al-Omar Oil Fields in Eastern Syria.

EXCLUSIVE:
Wr got confirmation from our source on the ground that the attack carried out today by Iranian-backed militias targeting U.S. troops was launched from the Imam Ali military base in the vicinity of Al-Bukamal city.
The Imam Ali base is considered one of the prominent military bases for Iran-backed militias, strategically located between Iraq and Syria.@DeirEzzor24

I don't know what that means. Is it some kind of aircraft?

Unconfirmed, but sources are telling me there was radar jamming equipment found on the drone that killed and injured dozens of troops at Tower 22 in Jordan.
If this is confirmed, do you understand what this means? This isn’t simply “Iranian backed militia” conducting these attacks. It would mean there’s a high probability Iranian agents are directly involved and assisting with attacks on US Troops. It means FAAD, our Forward Area Air Defense wasn’t even aware there was an aircraft in flight.
Congress needs to open an inquiry immediately.

At least 6 U.S. Air Force KC-135 Aerial-Refueling Tankers, most from March Air Reserve Base in Southern California, are heading Northeast across the United States and preparing to Transit the Atlantic towards the U.K. and Europe. I wonder what kind of Aircraft they are Refueling?

#BREAKING: We might see six #USAF's heavy bombers armed with cruise missiles participate in the retaliatory airstrikes at #IRGC of #Iran's Islamic Regime & their proxies in just 15 hours from now. They can be B-52Hs of Barksdale/Minot AFBs or B-1Bs of Dyess AFB or a mixture of both.

Looks unusual how the 3 from Lincoln departed to sync up with the 3 from March ARB. 24 HR Stike package Iran bound? Who knows.
Considering they were reportedly in talks with Assad for the US backed Kurds to ally with his forces against ISIS/Daesh in the event of a US pull out, this gets real complicated real fast.

“Aaron David Miller, a former U.S. Middle East peace negotiator now at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said that there are a number of ways the administration might respond to the new attack on Tower 22 without attacking Iranian territory. They include striking Iranian personnel in Syria or Iraq or Iranian naval assets in the Persian Gulf.”
“‘What the administration needs to do now is send an unmistaken signal that continuing these attacks will elicit a much stronger U.S. reaction,’ he said. ‘We can do that without crossing the Iranian red line, which is direct strikes on Iranian territory.’”

In about 15-18 hours once they enter the Atlantic.
My wild guess is they are towing fighter support for the the cruise missle launching bombers already stationed in and around Europe.

@RobManess
What this means is our commanders on the ground can’t defend our forces without permission AND these idiots didn’t have an immediate response plan big enough to reestablish deterrence on Iran in place. Even though they’ve let our people get attacked day after day without an appropriate response and knew Americans would die eventually. What a shitshow. I totally reject those out there today saying or implying that we should not respond against these barbarians for killing and wounding Americans. I’m not Lindsey Graham wanting an all out war on Iran, that’s stupid, but a response such as removing every part of their Navy from the planet and destroying their militias that attacked us is entirely appropriate.

| OSINTdefender @sentdefender U.S. Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin and several other Defense Officials are reported to currently be at the White House in discussions with President Biden about Planning and Preparations for Response Options against Iran and the Iranian-Backed Group, as Retaliation for last night’s Drone Attack on Bases in Syria and Jordan which resulted in the Death of 3 American Soldiers. |

I agree and it would NOT surprise me if, through one back channel or another, a warning and a timeline were both given to Iran which, in turn, would allow them a chance to escape until the literal dust settles in a day or two from now. The Biden admin (with the help of the MSM) could then get on tv and say "We retaliated for the attack on our people and sent a strong message to Iran to never do that again." However, the real truth would be no one who was responsible for those deaths would have been harmed at all and the net result of all of it would be we would have completely wasted more of our military equipment, we would have let the guilty parties get away into the dark of night and we would have given them the pretext to strike back at us----which they will make very good use of AND, most likely. they will do it HERE on U.S. soil.
Things are about to get spicy, in my opinion. Here and abroad alike.

There's GOT TO BE an intel leak somewhere because how else would Iran know exactly where the sleeping quarters were on that base?
There's so much damn treason taking place in DC these days that U.S. Marshals could arrest half the town on suspicions of it and STILL it probably wouldn't be enough. Who's NOT on the take in that damn city?

They bribe the locals that work on the base to get intel, where the soldiers ate, sleep and so on. However, many will live on the base in housing, maybe to help counter the leaks but they still get intel. They did this in Iraq to target locations on the base.
