The Islamic Republic has distanced itself from the deadly drone attack on an American outpost
Tehran was not involved in the drone attack on a US base in Jordan, which left three service members dead and more than 30 wounded, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said on Monday.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq – an umbrella group for Islamist Shia militias – claimed responsibility for the strike on the outpost known as Tower 22, not far from the border with Jordanian-Syrian border.
President Joe Biden said the attack was carried out by “radical Iran-backed militant groups,” while many US politicians blamed Tehran directly. UK Foreign Minister David Cameron similarly pointed to Iran, urging the Islamic Republic to “de-escalate in the region.”
