President Joe Biden steps off of Marine One as he arrives At Delaware Air National Guard Base in New Castle, Del., Friday, Oct. 27, 2023, in Washington. President Biden officially notified Congress of the targeted strikes that he ordered earlier this week and promised to “take further action” against further attacks on U.S. bases and troops in the region.
Mr. Biden’s letter to Congress doubled down on warnings from the Pentagon to Iran that the U.S. would not hesitate to take further action to protect U.S. forces. Mr. Biden thumbed militia groups linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as the perpetrators of a series of attacks against U.S. forces that injured 21 service members and caused a U.S. contractor to die of a cardiac incident.
“I directed the strikes in order to protect and defend our personnel, to degrade and disrupt the ongoing series of attacks against the United States and our partners, and to deter Iran and Iran-backed militia groups from conducting or supporting further attacks on United States personnel and facilities,” Mr. Biden said.
