Breaking News:  The Drone that killed 3 American military members and injuring more than 25 was mistakenly thought to be one of our military Drones that was due back to land around that same time calling into question how much Intel does Iran and their proxies have on American military bases.

Flashback to 2011:  Iran–U.S. RQ-170 incident


Under Obama's watch, Iran was able to hack a US drone and force it to land (i.e not crash) on an Iranian runway, and then steal all the technology within including the transponder frequencies that US drones use to identify themselves as 'friendly'.

The Drone Attack by Iranian-Backed Forces this weekend on the Tower 22 Patrol and Operations Base in Northeastern Jordan was Successful due to a Confusion by U.S. Air Defenses, which led them to believe an Incoming Hostile Drone was a Friendly Drone that was Returning to Base.

This may be the 'official story' the Pentagon is putting out.  But it is also pure unadulterated bullshit.  The person operating the drone is going to know the location of the drone.  So unless this enemy drone is hovering over the US drone travelling at the same speed and path as the US drone, and reaching its target at exactly the same time, this excuse is bogus.

A strong, surgical response is vital against Iran-backed forces that killed & injured American troops in Jordan. Iran remains responsible for its proxies & will be held accountable.

Is that how y'all did it in 'Nam?

Drone from Iran proxy evaded US defenses because it was mistaken for US drone: official
Iran-proxy drone got past Tower 22 air defenses because it was mistaken for US drone returning to base
 By Danielle Wallace , Liz Friden Fox News
Published January 29, 2024 11:31am EST


A U.S. official confirmed to Fox News the drone from an Iranian proxy that killed 3 American service members in Jordan and injured others got past the air defenses for Tower 22 because it was mistaken for a U.S. drone expected to return to the base at the same time.

The Wall Street Journal initially reported on this development on Monday. A U.S. official confirmed the information to Fox News.

President Biden has vowed to take action against Iranian-backed militants in the Middle East after the drone attack at Tower 22, a post in Jordan near Syria's border, over the weekend.

According to U.S. officials who spoke with the Journal, the enemy drone was launched from Iraq by a militia backed by Tehran, but Iran rejected "baseless" claims it was linked to the attack.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin addressed the attack when he returned to work at the Pentagon on Monday after nearly a month's absence because of prostate cancer.

"Let me start with my outrage and sorrow for the deaths of three brave U.S. troops in Jordan and for the other troops who were wounded. The president and I will not tolerate attack on U.S. forces. And we will take all necessary actions to defend the U.S. and our troops," Austin said, while meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., who serves on the House Armed Services, Foreign Affairs and Intelligence committees and is a former U.S. Army special forces commander, told Fox News’ Harris Faulkner on Monday that Iran "has gotten the message loud and clear that they can get away with it."

A drone attack within Jordan?  Where's the outrage at the UN?  Where's the outrage of the Arab Leaugue?

When does the carpet bombing of Tehran begin?

... this is why the US needs domestic energy independence so we don't have Persian Gulf and OPEC nations hamstringing American foreign, economic, diplomatic, and security policies.

What is Tower 22 – the secret US base at centre of Iran-backed drone attacks?
Our Foreign Staff
Mon, January 29, 2024 at 9:01 AM CST·



Overlooking a refugee camp housing 15,000 people in northern Jordan, the secret outpost of Tower 22, on the border with Iraq and Syria, has long been strategically important to the US.

Little is publicly known about the military base, but its location just 12 miles from the better-known Al-Tanf US garrison in south-eastern Syria suggests it provides logistical support – as well as border security for Jordan.

Officially, the Jordanian government does not acknowledge Tower 22’s existence. Yet Al-Tanf has been a key US base in the fight against the remnants of Islamic State (IS) in the region and has been repeatedly targeted by militia groups. Until Sunday’s drone attack, Tower 22 had not warranted the same attention.

The killing of three US service personnel has changed that status – even though a Jordanian official claimed publicly that it happened in Syria – and dragged the fight with Iran-backed militants in Syria and Iraq across the border into Jordan.

Biden spokesman John Kirby can’t say if Biden will attend the dignified transfer of the U.S. troops killed by Iran-proxies.

Well, based on his schedule over the last three years, there is a 30% probability that Biden will be in Delaware at the time those caskets arrive.

 US soldier killed in Jordan drone strike ID’d as Georgia woman: ‘Munchkin will be missed’
By Social Links for Alex Oliveira
Published Jan. 29, 2024, 1:56 p.m. ET

A female US soldier from Georgia who was affectionately known as “Munchkin’’ was identified Monday as one of the three American service members killed in the terrorist drone strike in Jordan.

Family members of Army Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders of Waycross said she was among those slain in the Saturday night attack by Iranian-backed militants on a small outpost near the Syrian

“Our family would like to thank you for the respect given to Kennedy. Munchkin will be missed by many,” family member Shawn Sanders wrote on Facebook.

Flags in Waycross were flying at half-staff Monday, the family said — and Mayor Michael-Angelo James plans to hold an honorary service when her body is returned home, WTOC reported.

The weekend assault happened at a remote base in northeastern Jordan and marked the first American fatalities from enemy fire in the region since US troops were placed on high alert after Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel.

REPORTER: "Is the President currently actively considering potential attacks inside Iran?"

KIRBY: "We are not looking for a war with Iran. [...] This attack over the weekend was escalatory — make no mistake about it and It requires a response — make no mistake about that."

Kirby is an embarrassment.  We are better off with no press briefing at all than to hear this weak-ass BS.
