/ The US White House accused, on Wednesday, the “Islamic Resistance in Iraq” of being behind the attack on “Tower 22” in Jordan, which killed 3 American soldiers and injured 34 others.
The White House said in statements published by the media that it “does not seek war with Iran or a wider war in the region,” adding, “We will do what is necessary to hold accountable those responsible for the recent attack in Jordan.”
He explained that “the recent attack in Jordan was carried out by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, which includes several groups.”
On Sunday, January 27, the US Army announced that three of its soldiers were killed and about 25 others were injured in a drone attack targeting a base housing US forces in Jordan.
American media reported that the targeted site was “Tower 22”, a small military site in Jordan, near the country’s border with Syria.
Regarding the Gaza war, the White House noted that “the National Security Advisor discussed the aid and hostage issues with the Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs today.”
He continued, “We are seeking to reach a long-term truce in Gaza,” indicating that “the goal of the long-term truce is to release the largest number of hostages, and we are still holding talks on this matter.”
He concluded by saying, “The talks we are having on the truce and the hostages are constructive and we believe they are going in the right direction.”
