US should attack Iran in response to attack on our embassy in Iraq<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Once again, a U.S. embassy has come under an attack orchestrated by Iranian terrorists \u2013 but this time it is our embassy in Baghdad in Iraq rather than in the\u00a0Iranian\u00a0capital of Tehran as in 1979, when Iranian revolutionaries captured the U.S. Embassy and held 52 American hostage for 444 days.<\/p>\n

Several dozen Iraqi Shiite militia members forced their way into the U.S. embassy compound in Baghdad Tuesday setting fires\u00a0and causing other damage, angered by weekend U.S. airstrikes that killed members of an Iranian-backed militia in\u00a0Iraq.<\/p>\n

We must maintain control of our embassy in Baghdad. A U.S. official told Fox News that 100 Marines are being sent to the embassy to increase security.<\/p>\n

President Trump is wisely standing firm, tweeting Tuesday to explain the American airstrikes and to deliver a sharp warning to the governments of both Iran and Iraq: \u201cIran killed an American contractor, wounding many,\u201d the president tweeted. \u201cWe strongly responded, and always will. Now Iran is orchestrating an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. They will be held fully responsible. In addition, we expect Iraq to use its forces to protect the Embassy, and so notified!\u201d<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s tweet is a welcome display of U.S. resolve, but more than a tweet is needed to show Iran it cannot attack the U.S. embassy with impunity. It\u2019s time for an American military response.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
