The Biden administration's response to the recent killing of three U.S. soldiers by Iran-controlled militias has been criticized for its perceived lack of swift and effective action. Five days after the attack, no retaliatory strikes have been carried out, raising questions about the administration's approach.
Critics accuse Biden and the intelligence community of displaying cowardice by seemingly defending Iran. They argue that attributing the actions of Iranian-controlled proxy groups in the Middle East to Tehran's lack of complete control is a weak stance. The presence of IRGC officials in Iraq is cited as evidence of Iran's involvement in coordinating with and providing intelligence to its proxies.

The hesitancy to take immediate action against the aggression is deemed disgraceful, with suggestions that Biden prioritizes political gain over protecting U.S. soldiers and deterring future attacks. Concerns are raised that any eventual strikes may be limited and telegraphed, targeting empty militia bases while sparing high-value Iranian assets. This, it is argued, would embolden Iran to continue aggressive behavior against American interests.
The call for accountability and a strong, direct response is emphasized, asserting that failing to do so puts American lives at risk. While advocating against a full-scale war, the need to hold Iranian leaders accountable is stressed for the sake of creating a genuine deterrent against future attacks. The article concludes by urging Biden to demonstrate resolve and take decisive action against Iran, framing anything less as a betrayal of American soldiers and an invitation for further bloodshed.
