The article discusses the recent drone strike on Tower 22 in Jordan, where soldiers were left defenseless and likely sleeping at the time of the attack. President Biden promised a swift response, but a week passed before any action was taken. The Biden administration has been criticized for being too willing to let Iranian-funded militias harm Americans and only retaliating when public pressure becomes too strong. The airstrikes that eventually took place targeted mostly evacuated positions, leading to speculation about the administration's motives. The author suggests that it is time to settle the long-standing conflict with Iran or remove American soldiers from the region. [Extracted from the article]
