Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said today said Tehran was not involved in the drone attack on a US base in Jordan which left three service members dead and more than 30 wounded.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq – an umbrella group for Islamist Shia militias – claimed responsibility for the strike on the outpost known as Tower 22, not far from the border with Jordanian-Syrian border.
President Joe Biden said the attack was carried out by “radical Iran-backed militant groups,” while many US politicians blamed Tehran directly. UK Foreign Minister David Cameron similarly pointed to the Islamic Republic, urging it to “de-escalate in the region.”
The strike in Jordan occurred as Shia groups in the region have been pledging solidarity with the Palestinians and demanding that Israel end its assault on Gaza.
Hezbollah in Lebanon repeatedly fired rockets and mortar shells into Israel, while Yemen’s Houthis launched missiles and drones at merchant ships sailing through the Red Sea.
