A recent drone attack on a US base in Jordan, attributed to Iran-backed militias, raises concerns of escalating conflict in the Middle East. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a collective force of various militias, claimed responsibility. Motivated by opposition to US support for Israel, these groups aim to push American forces out of the region. Iran denies direct involvement, posing a dilemma for the Biden administration in crafting a response. The situation's broader impact on the Middle East hinges on how the US navigates this delicate geopolitical challenge.
