Secretary of State Antony Blinken issued a warning this week that the United States would act "swiftly and decisively" if it came under attack from Iran or its proxies in the Middle East, amid growing concerns of the Israel-Hamas war spreading.
His warning came as the White House accused Iran of facilitating attacks on U.S. military bases in Syria and Iraq in the last week. Questions about the extent of Iran's involvement in Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel have shone a spotlight on Iranian influence in the Middle East and raised major concerns about the prospect of a wider war engulfing the region.
The U.S. has said there is no direct evidence that Iran was involved in the Hamas attack against Israel. However, analysts and regional experts say there are evident links between Iran and the attacks carried out by Hamas.

Iran was also attacking US Troops in Iraq and we only openly engaged them once (publicly acknowledged anyway) by drone in the killing of MG Qasem Soleimani. We've seen the same ole same ole with Israel and Hamas/PLO but this time feels different, time will tell.

MSG Billy Brumfield My Perspective is a Little Different, On My Last Westpac, One of My Missions was to Annoy the Holy Hell out of Iran sitting 16 Miles off Busehr (Their Largest Port) and Listen and Watch their Response, Collect Order of Battle Information. Can You Imagine a Monstrous Iranian Combatant Ship Sitting 16 Miles Off Nofolk, VA? I Have a Certain Respect for those that I Professionally Screwed With!
