Al Jazeera: Officials: Iran behind drone attack on US base in Syria 

United States officials believe Iran was behind a drone attack last week at a military outpost at al-Tanf in southern Syria where American troops are based. 

Officials said Monday the US believes that Iran provided resources and encouraged the attack, but that the drones were not launched from Iran, The Associated Press news service reported. 

The drones were Iranian, and Iran appears to have facilitated their use, officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss details that have not been made public.

There are different kinds of retaliation, whether passive or aggressive. But we've been dealing with this Iranian proxy bullshit for decades now. In the real world (where some of us still live), eventually comes a time to shit or get off the pot. In the globalist scheme of things, we're always warning and (almost) never backing it up. Don't want to upset the status quo. Which is why the US hasn't won a war since 1945. We could easily put Iran in its place if we wanted to, wouldn't take more than a week or two of "forceful diplomacy."

"Will the White House respond?"

Yes! With more of the same bullshit we've seen for the past 50 years. Or, in other words, No!

Well, the US is committing an ongoing war crime, squatting on Syrian territory and stealing their resources.

But that's what America does, so nothing new here.

And Israel just did a helicopter raid on Syrian forces the day. Tit for tat.

This WAS the response.
