Biden Orders Strike on Iranian Terrorist Group

 The wars and rumors of war continue to expand.  WWIII seems to be right around the corner.  And yet people are still eating, drinking, marrying, planting and building.  Just like they were doing in the days of Noah.  And they knew nothing of what was going on until the flood came and took them all away.  That’s how it will be in the days before the trumpet blows and Christ calls us into the clouds.

A drone attack by an Iran-affiliated terrorist group on a military base in Iraq early Monday morning left three U.S. service members wounded, the Pentagon said, and prompted President Biden to order retaliatory strikes.  

The attack on the Erbil Air Base in northern Iraq was conducted by Kataib Hezbollah militants, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement. One of the three service members wounded is in critical condition, Austin disclosed.

In response, Mr. Biden — after being briefed and holding a call with Austin and his national security team — ordered retaliatory strikes on "three locations utilized by Kataib Hezbollah and affiliated groups focused specifically on unmanned aerial drone activities," National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement.

According to U.S. Central Command, the retaliatory strikes on the three sites, all located in Iraq, were conducted at 8:45 p.m. Eastern Time and "likely killed a number of Kataib Hezbollah militants." 

No civilians were believed to have been wounded or killed, CENTCOM said.
