Biden's about to take the most consequential decision of his Presidency

🔶️ He wants to punish the perpetrators of the attack and deter Iran from its actions in the region. But doing so could put the US into direct confrontation with the leadership in Tehran, which has already been emboldened in the region since the #Hamas attack, launching attacks in Iraq and Pakistan.

🔶️ He must also weigh the potential for further economic upheaval as the US contends with Houthi militants - another Iranian proxy - that has roiled global shipping and sparked fears of fresh economic turmoil by targeting commercial ships in the #RedSea, which accounts for 12% of global trade.

🔶️ “The Biden administration is going to have to tread a very delicate line in trying to respond forcefully enough to restore some modicum of deterrence so this doesn’t happen again, while not undertaking a response that escalates the conflict,” said Jonathan Panikoff, director of the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft #MiddleEast #Security Initiative and former deputy national intelligence officer at the National Intelligence Council.

Pakistan ambassador has arrived in Tehran and Iranian Ambassador is on his way to Islamabad, putting an end to diplomatic row between the w nations.

The w countries have agreed to extend their cooperations against "terrorists" and to prevent future cross border hostilities.

The main focus of the w governments are to put an end to Baluch separatist uprising and prevent ISIS to use the situation to increase their presence in the region.

Right wing groups going bat shit crazy about their lifelong dream of getting US to engage Iran militarily on all fronts

This is a post from a right wing military centric group:

First map shows the Middle East conflict described by the Pentagon: contained in Gaza—no wider regional war.

The second shows what's played out as Iran + proxies drive a dangerous cycle of escalation, including a large attack today on U.S. forces.

In the past week, since the U.S. & U.K. launched retaliatory strikes against the Houthis in Yemen:
]
- On 11 Jan, U.S., U.K., & Allies conducted large-scale strikes against 60+ Houthi targets at 28 locations—for the first time since the conflict began
- Today: large attack on U.S. forces at an airbase in Iraq by Iranian-backed militants
- Iran attacked 3 countries in 48 hours (Pakistan, Iraq, Syria), hijacked a ship & took hostages, & caught sending ballistic missile components to Yemen
- In a proportional tit-for-tat response to Iran's attack, Pakistan struck multiple targets in Iran
- 140+ attacks now on U.S. forces in Iraq & Syria (confirmed by DOD), U.S. responded with precision strikes 10+ times (& gunship sorties)
- The U.S. followed up with an additional 6 rounds of strikes, targeting key Houthi infrastructure
- Houthis continue to attack commercial shipping & U.S. Navy ships, with at least 35 incidents recorded (more than 5 since the 11th)
