"Pentagon's Response to Drone Attacks Raises Concerns Over Base Security"

The U.S. base in Jordan, Tower 22, where three U.S. troops were killed by a drone attack, had inadequate air defenses, leading to the lethal attack. Despite previous drone attacks on neighboring U.S. bases, the military failed to stop the Tower 22 drone attack, resulting in casualties and deepening U.S. military involvement in the Middle East. The base's paltry capabilities to detect and defend against air attacks have raised concerns, prompting calls for improved defenses and airstrikes on Iranian-aligned targets in Iraq and Syria.
