According to CNN, on January 28, local time, a drone attacked a U.S. military base in northeastern Jordan near the Syrian border, killing three U.S. soldiers and injuring 25 others. On the same day, the Jordanian government's Minister of Communications and government spokesman Mohannad Mubaiddin said that the attack on US troops near the Jordanian-Syrian border did not take place in Jordan. At the same time, it was claimed that the attack took place at the Tanf military base in Syria. There is a big discrepancy between the Jordanian account and the description of the US Central Command, where did it happen, and who led the attack?
The US military base was attacked
First, after the attack, U.S. President Joe Biden issued a statement that the U.S. side believed that it was an attack carried out by armed groups backed by Iran in Syria and Iraq, and at the same time declared that it would take the opportunity to hold the perpetrators accountable in its own way. Judging by Biden's statement, the murderer should be the armed forces supported by Iran, and behind it is Iran. But this accusation is also not supported by evidence, just Biden's "family words". Moreover, there are many armed forces attacking US military bases in the Middle East, and the United States persecuted too many people, so there are enemies almost everywhere.

Second: On January 12, 2024, the U.S. military base in Hasakah province in northeastern Syria was attacked by drones. Prior to that, a rocket attack was also carried out on a US military base near the Kunuku gas field in Deir ez-Zor province in Syria. Since the outbreak of the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, many US military bases in the Middle East have been attacked by "unknown armed forces." Among them, the attacks on the bases of the international coalition forces in Iraq and the US military bases in Syria were later declared "responsible" by the Iraqi Shiite forces.

Thirdly: it is difficult to find the real murderer to a certain extent, because there are too many enemies in the United States. For example, if the United States steals resources in Syria, the local armed forces will inevitably "fight back." The United States has ruined the Iraqi state, and the Iraqi armed forces will also wait for an opportunity to attack. At the same time, some armed forces active in Iran, Lebanon, Yemen and other countries also have precedents of attacking US military bases. As for Biden's anti-terrorism, it is actually a cover. Instead of restoring peace to the Middle East, decades of fighting have become increasingly chaotic, which shows that the U.S. military has not gone all out to fight terrorism.
U.S. military bases
And the U.S. occupation and blatant theft of oil on Syrian territory do you think it will be accepted by the locals? The answer to many questions is actually the same: where there is oppression, there is resistance. Hamas's resistance to Israel's atrocities, and the protest of Middle Easterners against America's atrocities, are embodied in attacks on US military bases and attacks on Israel itself. As for whether the U.S. military has the ability to intercept drones, it can be done but the cost is very high, and some bases themselves have limited conditions, so the local U.S. military may not be equipped with corresponding interception equipment.
U.S. troops were attacked
From one point of view, the United States and Israel are the same, going to other people's homes to smash and burn and loot, in turn blaming others for resisting, and then holding high the banner of "self-defense and anti-terrorism" to further persecute the victims. To some extent, there is no need to look for the murderers of the US military, because they are the real victims, and the US military and Israel are the perpetrators.
