/ Former US State Department advisor Hazem Ghabra considered on Tuesday that President Joe Biden’s policies in the Middle East destroyed all alliances and distanced partners from Washington, while describing the US response to the killing of three soldiers in a bombing that targeted a military base in Jordan as “becoming complicated.”
Al-Ghabra, a member of the US Republican Party, told the Emirati website, “Erem News,” that “former President Donald Trump was establishing an alliance against Iranian expansion, but Biden destroyed it and alienated partners in the region, in addition to Israel’s preoccupation with its war in Gaza, along with clashes on the border with the Lebanese Hezbollah.”
He pointed out that this data makes the American response “complicated” despite the great military power of the United States, adding, “Practically, today there are no allies that America can rely on to launch a painful strike against Iran that might end what is happening.”
Regarding the American position on the attack on the military base in Jordan, he said, “We were hoping for a tougher response… Washington is still committed to resolving the problem without expanding it.”
Al-Ghabra believes that President Biden is now under tremendous pressure after the attack that his opponents will use to accuse him of being unable to protect American blood and interests.
Biden, according to the former US adviser, “does not have the power in the region to effectively confront Iran,” expecting revenge to come through “a series of strikes in Iraq and Syria.”
Al-Ghabra ruled out “Biden being dragged into an unexpected war by launching strikes inside Iran while being preoccupied with the Ukraine war,” noting that “America cannot strike Iran alone, and confront it inside countries that do nothing about Tehran’s growing influence on their lands.”
The former adviser called on President Joe Biden, “if he has the ability or is re-elected, to form a coalition to confront Iran in the interest of peace and global trade.”
A group called the “Iraqi Islamic Resistance” announced on Sunday that its fighters “attacked four enemy bases using drones, three of which are in Syria, namely the Shaddadi base, the Rukban base, and the Tanf base, and the fourth is inside the occupied Palestinian territories, namely the Zvulun naval facility.”
