The DoD has zero specific proof that Iran backed the attack on Tower 22…zero.

Killing 3 troops is in no way helpful to their cause or gathering of strength.

Keep calling for genocide as you have been for months.
No one takes you seriously. Just another internet tough guy.

So your position is that the Houthis got these rather advanced weapons from….where exactly? They built them all on their own? Santa brought them for Christmas?

“Keep calling for genocide as you have been for months.”

“Gazan” is not a race. Neither is “muslim”.

Now go hump someone else’s leg.

You’re boring me.

I think Lurker correctly defined the term “Iran-backed”, which is actually different from saying that Iran specifically ‘backed’ a particular attack. The IRI, more specifically the IRGC/Quds Force provides the munitions, weapons, training, $$$ to Iran’s proxies. When they decide to use those weapons is pretty much up to the proxy leader, as long as the target is a Qods approved enemy.

Kata’ib Hezbollah is the proxy that sent the drones, one of which killed & injured American soldiers (also Jordanians & they have joined in the U.S. retaliation).
Kata’ib Hezbollah was started in 2003 & has been on the U.S. Terrorism watch list since 2009. They pretty much split their time between fighting in Syria & Iraq. Their leader was alMuhandis and he was killed along with his buddy Soleimani in Trump’s ordered drone strike in 2020. According to info on the internet, the new leader since is al Hamidawi.
There’s quite a bit of information on this group if you do some basic research. There’s no doubt that they pledge allegiance to IRI, even though they have become part of a coalition of militias in Iraq’s PMF.

Also, I saw a map yesterday, that showed all of Iran’s proxies in the middle east. Wish I could find it. Attacks via proxies has been a successful MO for the IRI for decades.
