Three American soldiers were killed in January in a drone attack on a U.S. outpost in Jordan.
The Biden-Harris administration is privately claiming to Congress that no Iranians have been involved in drone attacks on Americans over the past year, drawing criticism from lawmakers and experts who say the government is intentionally denying the extent of Iran’s aggression in the Middle East.
In a non-public assessment provided to Congress last month, the State Department said it “has not identified any Iranian persons” responsible for attacking “a U.S. citizen from October 27, 2023, to July 23, 2024, using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV),” according to a copy of the previously unreported notice reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
The assessment was transmitted to lawmakers against the backdrop of a massive Iran-fueled war in the Middle East, where Tehran’s terror proxies are wreaking havoc on Israel, attacking international shipping lines, and targeting American forces stationed in the region.
Drones are a key weapon for Iran’s allies and have been used on the battlefield by Hezbollah, Hamas, Yemen’s Houthi rebels, Syrian militants, and, most prolifically, Tehran-backed militia groups in Iraq.
