White House says Iran 'actively facilitating' some attacks on US military bases
reuters.com

The White House on Monday said Iran was in some cases "actively facilitating" rocket and drone attacks by Iranian-backed proxy groups on U.S. military bases in Iraq and Syria, and President Biden has directed the Department of Defense to brace for more and respond appropriately.

White House spokesman John Kirby said there had been an uptick in such attacks over the last week, and especially over the last few days, but the U.S. would not allow its interests in the region to "go unchallenged."

He said the United States believed these groups were supported by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) and the Iranian government, which was also continuing to support the Hamas and Hezbollah militant groups.

Not sure what Europe is up to.

Shitting their collective pants now that Russia has their sights on them.

Please show me where any country is "shitting themselves over Russia" after the master stroke in self destruction Russia has displayed in Ukraine?

😂 the three days to kyiv russia is a reason to shit our pants? I don't think so...

You certainly seem to be shitting your pants anytime anyone mentions the US backing off aiding Ukraine under Trump.

I dont get the same impression here in germany. And I also dont see that Trump will be a problem ever again. So nope, no shitting our pants here because of Russia or Trump.

LMAOOOOOOOOO.

Russia isn't even the strongest military in Ukraine. Nobody is shitting their pants over Russia after their comical display of total failure and incompetence in Ukraine. It's not 2011 anymore, the tiger mask has fallen off to reveal the sick, weak little kitten that is Russia.
