Former President Trump had choice words for the Biden administration after three U.S.
service members were killed and at least 25 others were injured in a drone attack on an
outpost in northeast Jordan near the Syrian border on Sunday.

"The drone attack on a U.S. Military Installation in Jordan, killing 3 American

Servicemembers, and wounding many more, marks a horrible day for America. My most
profound sympathies go to the Families of the Brave Servicemembers (sic) we have lost,"
Trump wrote on his Truth Social page.

He continued his first part of a three-part series by asking for all Americans to join him in
praying for those who were wounded and calling out President Biden and his
administration.

"This brazen attack on the United States is yet another horrific and tragic consequence of
Joe Biden’s weakness and surrender," Trump continued. "Three years ago, Iran was weak,
broke, and totally under control. Thanks to my Maximum Pressure policy, the Iranian
Regime could barely scrape two dollars together to fund their terrorist proxies. Then Joe
Biden came in and gave Iran billions of dollars, which the Regime has used to spread
bloodshed and carnage throughout the Middle East."

A senior U.S. defense official told Fox News the injury toll could rise to higher than just 25
Americans.

"This attack would NEVER have happened if I was President, not even a chance - Just like
the Iranian-backed Hamas attack on Israel would never have happened, the War in Ukraine
would never have happened, and we would right now have Peace throughout the World.
Instead, we are on the brink of World War 3," Trump wrote.

Inthe wake of the attack, Republicans condemned Biden's perceived inaction so far and
some went further, accusing the president of appeasing Iran.

"Enough is enough. The Biden administration’s appeasement of Iran must end. It’s time for
clear and decisive action, and Iran must be held accountable for the malign activities of its
proxies," Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.

"It’s

forces ," Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., chair of the House Armed Services Committee, said in a
statement.

Trump echoed the remarks of other Republicans, saying the day was further proof a
change needs to be made.
