Pentagon on #IRGC rocket attacks: “If and when it’s appropriate to respond, we’ll do so at a time and a place and in a manner of our choosing and certainly in consultation with our Iraqi partners.”
In other words, it’s open season for #Iran.
So nothing has changed.
Pentagon again implies that there are NO red lines in the Middle East for #Iran, INCLUDING killing Americans.
They implied this last week, as wellTruly pathetic answer from senior defense officials on this attack: "It was a strong and powerful statement."
Answer indicates that Biden administration has no red lines in Iraq, including the killing of Americans. pic.twitter.com/FnXiPrylm9

It just gets worse and worse:
Asked why the US a week later hasn’t attributed #Erbil attack, DOD says there’s no US investigation.
“It’s an investigation that is being conducted by our Iraqi partners. The Secretary offered to help them with that and it was a sincere offer.”
Holy god:Asked about #Houthi offensive against #Marib and whether the US would militarily intervene, DOD says “Our military operations in Yemen are designed to go after #ISIS. It’s a counter-ISIS mission.”
False – it’s to go after #AQAP. But their brains are on autopilot.
For more on the dubious presence and activities of Islamic State in #Yemen, see below. Just a truly incredible answer by the Pentagon.
