GOP Senator Criticizes Ineffective Policies and Retaliatory Strikes in the Middle East

Senator Lindsey Graham criticized the retaliatory strikes in the Middle East as insufficient to deter Iran, arguing that the targets had too much advance warning and that the national security is in freefall. The Biden administration has carried out two sets of retaliatory strikes in response to the drone attack that killed three US soldiers in Jordan last month. National Security adviser Jake Sullivan indicated that more strikes and actions are planned to send a clear message to Iran. Graham also commented on the border flap in Congress, while the White House criticized Republicans for their opposition to a bipartisan border deal.

"Continued US Airstrikes Target Iran-Backed Groups in Yemen and Middle East"

The US and Britain launched another wave of attacks targeting Iran-backed groups, striking 36 Houthi targets in Yemen on Saturday, following Friday strikes targeting Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Force and militias in Iraq and Syria. The strikes come after a drone attack that killed three US service members and wounded dozens in Jordan. Tensions between the US and Iran-backed fighters have been on the rise, with both sides indicating the likelihood of further retaliatory strikes. Iran and the groups it supports in the Middle East are hoping to pressure the US to force Israel to end its Gaza offensive, but don't appear to want an all-out war.
