Biden administration's incoherent response to Iranian terrorism

 Washington Free Beacon:


Pentagon Contradicts Itself on Origins of Iranian Drone 
Walks back official's claim that attack on British tanker came from Yemen
...

State Department officials cut off aid to Saudi allies in their war against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen in February, allowing the group to stage operations outside the country and brush back attempts from Saudi Arabia to corner the militants. The Houthis have waged a violent bombing campaign against targets within Saudi Arabia with the aid of Iranian weapons, and now appear to have extended their reach to maritime targets like Mercer Street. The attack comes months after the Biden administration de-listed the Houthis as a terrorist organization.

Kirby’s contradiction of Stroul’s testimony is the latest instance of the Biden administration's struggle to confront Iran for aggressive action in the region while it renegotiates a nuclear deal. The Washington Free Beacon reported on Monday that Biden’s nominee for a top arms control position has a track record of denying that Iran seeks to build nuclear weapons, contrary to Israeli intelligence and pledges from Iran’s leaders.
...

The policy is not only incoherent, it is idiotic at its core.  Biden et.al. is pretending that Iran is not an aggressor notwithstanding all the evidence to the contrary.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
