🤩 Primeros estadounidenses muertos por ataques desde el inicio de la guerra Israel-Hamas
El 27 de enero de 2024, una base estadounidense en Jordania fue atacada con drones, matando a 3 soldados e hiriendo a decenas más. Es el primer ataque letal contra estadounidenses desde que empezó la guerra Israel-Hamas en octubre de 2023. Biden está considerando respuestas, aunque no culpa directamente a Irán. Algunos piden atacar Irán, pero EE.UU. enfrenta opciones limitadas para no escalar el conflicto ni afectar precios del petróleo en año electoral.
😮💨 Irán niega responsabilidad y dice milicias operan independientemente
Irán negó ser responsable del ataque y dijo que los grupos aliados en la región, conocidos como "el eje de la resistencia", actúan de forma independiente. Este eje incluye milicias apoyadas por Irán en Yemen, Irak y Gaza que se oponen a EE.UU. e Israel.
😠 EE.UU. promete represalias más fuertes contra Irán

Highlights
The White House is considering possible responses to the deadly attack on a U.S. base in Jordan by Tehran-backed militants on Saturday, January 27, 2024.
The drone attack killed 3 U.S. soldiers and injured dozens more. These are the first Americans to die in such an attack since tensions escalated in the region with the start of the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza in October 2023.
Biden is studying options, said Congress' National Security spokesperson John Kirby on Monday, January 29, reiterating that the U.S. does not want a wider war with Iran.
On Sunday, January 28, President Biden did not directly blame Tehran but said the attack was carried out by radical military groups backed by Iran operating in Syria and Iraq.
Iran said any suggestion they were responsible was unfounded and insisted allied groups would act independently, not on orders from the Islamic Republic.
The resistance groups in the region do not receive orders from the Islamic Republic, said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Naser Kanani, referring to what is often called the axis of resistance.
The axis of resistance, also called the anti-imperialist resistance axis, is a network of militias from Yemen to Iraq and Gaza supported by Tehran and united in opposing the U.S. and Israel.
Some U.S. lawmakers including Senator Lindsey Graham are urging Biden to strike Iranian territory in response.
Washington's response will be stronger than its most recent reprisals against Iranian representatives, suggesting risks of further escalation in the conflict now spanning from Gaza across the Middle East.
Biden faces challenging tradeoffs between retaliation, avoiding higher oil prices, and preventing direct confrontation with Iran in an election year.
Higher crude prices will likely impact U.S. consumers by raising gasoline costs, a politically sensitive issue.
The U.S. faces bad options, said geopolitical risk analyst Firas Modad. Biden faces immense pressure to respond to the Jordan deaths, but direct conflict with Iran would likely mean higher energy prices and significant casualties, he said.
For now, we will keep you informed.
