Chicago – January 31, 2024
The deaths of three US personnel and the injuries of many others raise the temperature in an already volatile region, putting additional pressure on President Joe Biden, the US commander-in-chief.
This is the first time American servicemen have been killed by enemy fire since the Israel-Gaza war began.
That is the puzzle for Washington and its allies as the horrific Israel-Gaza war continues, resulting in a staggering number of civilian lives and immense suffering. Iran’s supporters swear they will not stop firing until there is a truce in Gaza; so far, none is in sight as Israel wages a war it claims would finish only until Hamas is destroyed and hostages are released.
