It will weigh looking into the possibility of convening a group to explore what might constitute an as-yet-undetermined answer.
Washington, February 13 – The White House announced today it will make a decisive move to address Teheran’s belligerent actions in the Middle East that have killed Americans: it will soon weigh looking into the possibility of convening a group to explore what might, hypothetically, constitute an as-yet-undetermined answer to the Islamic Republic’s disruptive aggression and empowerment of violent proxies.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters this morning that President Biden has determined that the way to combat Iran’s malign activities in the region that threaten American allies and global shipping will begin with an eventual committee to investigate implications of forming a task force to examine what, under certain circumstances, deterring Iran might look like.
“The president has decided to act with boldness and decisiveness, as usual,” stated Kirby, in response to a correspondent’s question. “He has instructed his staff to meet to discuss the purview and composition of a committee that will report on the feasibility of consideration of forming a task force to advise on the possible thinking about responses to Iran.”
Iran has armed, trained, and funded dozens of militias in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and the Palestinian Territories, groups that have launched missile, drone, bomb, piracy, kidnaping, and other attacks on American and other targets, including an invasion of southern Israel on October 7 that killed 1200, abducted hundreds more and featured mass rape, torture, mutilation, and numerous other atrocities. The attacks have also included drone and missile salvos against US military personnel and facilities throughout the region, at least of them causing US troop fatalities.
The Biden administration has sought to reorient American foreign policy to accommodate Iran, despite the latter’s disruptive drive for regional hegemony, fomentation of instability, propagation of terrorism, hostility to US allies, threats to the global order, arming of belligerents such as Russia, Hezbollah, and Hamas, pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile capabilities, and vows to destroy Israel.
Experts urged caution in drawing conclusions about the Biden move. “I, for one, would need more information to develop a treatment of these decisive measures,” acknowledged Martin Indyk, an ambassador to Israel under Bill Clinton and a coordinator of a “peace process” that killed thousands of Israelis and Palestinians, as well as a fellow at the Qatar-funded Brookings Institute think tank. “A quick reaction is called for. I therefore predict action, or perhaps inaction, no later than after the elections in November.”
