"Biden Holds Iran-Backed Militia Responsible for Lethal Tower 22 Attack"

The U.S. military base Tower 22 in Jordan has been hit by three lethal drone attacks in the past six months, with the latest attack killing three U.S. troops and injuring 34 others. The Pentagon is working to address the gap in defenses against such attacks, with high-powered microwaves and missile systems showing promise. President Biden has blamed Iranian-backed militias for the attacks and emphasized the need for a comprehensive defense strategy similar to the response to improvised explosive devices during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
