[inaudible] we lost souls and attack on her basis.

[inaudible] we shall respond. cooks are running it back to militia called themselves the axis of resistance and responsibility for the attack today the drone strike at the sleeping quarters in a small outpost in jordan. near iraq and close to the u.s. base in syria note is a 12 garrison's hundreds of u.s. troops are based including special forces. from the ruskin along the route for the bases are located for the attack follows a ballistic missile strike on a base in iraq last weekend that injured for u.s. troops and two navy seals at site up the coast of yemen earlier this month will boarding a ship carrying iranian missile components are bound for yemen for the white house as president biden and vice president harris were briefed by the national security team's afternoon. participant suckled the national security adv advisor secretary f

state, the defense secretary, chairman of the joint chief dni, cia direct director u.s. ambasso the un. as far as response options go for the president's notable there's one less aircraft carrier strike group in the region after uss gerald r ford along the destroyer cruise escorts return home from the mediterranean early this month u.s. dwight the eisenhower remains on station in the red sea her jets have been striking yemen in recent weeks or escorts have been launching tomahawk cruise missiles shooting down drones and ballistic missiles fired from my r iran's rebel ard yemen u.s. air force jets are on standby that's an option the uae just a few weeks ago president biden was asked about iran. [inaudible] >> of already delivered the message they know. but senator tom cotton signed the statement quote the only answer these attacks must be devastating military retaliation against iran's terrorist forces both in and around and across the middle east. anything less will confirm joe

biden is a coward unworthy of being commander-in-chief. >> the key is you got to inflict pain on a rent not that she a proxy group so that iran does not care about because we can kill all of them. we can hit their facilities we can hit their warehouses. iran will keep flushing and the senate that stepped out iran does not care about this assets request the names of the three american soldiers killed in this attack will be relaxed released in the next 24 hours after the families are notified. eric: our hearts are certainly with them. they'll not be forgotten. lucas, we have talked about this before. back in 1988 during iranian attack her wars and iranian mine blew a hole in the frigate the samuel roberts. president ronald reagan ordered attacks against iran the hit anl platform. they hit an oil field and i run president ronald reagan took out about half of the iranian navy at the time in response to that. any sense of the historical

context being discussed now the white house and what this president could do to respond? >> after now more than 160 toxins u.s. forces across the middle east is quite clear the facts of the ground are right now is our rot is not being deterred they are certainly increase calls on capitol hill from lawmakers who want to see the biden ministration strike back and strike back at much harder including hitting targets in iran today is a sad reminder u.s. forces have to be perfect every time in shooting down the incoming drones at missiles the enemy only has to get lucky one time which unfortunately was the case today. >> the president said the u.s. will respond at a time and place of our choosing. lucas, thank you. tensions have been rising and the always volatile middle east since the israelite hamas war began. the question now will today's deadly attack escalate the danger even more? trey yingst is live in jerusalem.

how could this affect the region and the immediate aftermath and in the weeks to come? what such a great question there is an understanding it's not a question of if the united states will respond to this deadly drone attack but rather when and where. right now the israelis are keeping a close eye on the situation. understanding their forces are currently battling other iranian proxies inside the gaza strip and also from southern lebanon the lebanese group there is a concern that if the united states ramps up strikes against iranian proxies in the region or targets are run within its own borders or could be a response that would target this key american ally the israelis have to be prepared for that possibility. but tonight the region is trying to get a grasp on exactly what took place we are getting a new statement at this hour. from an organization that says they are responsible but we are talking about the islamic resistance and iraq.

this is an umbrella organization up by round backed iraqi and syrian militias. they said they were responsible for this one way suicide drone attack that didn't target the tower 22 outpost pretty statement the organization said they were continuing their approach to resisting the american occupation forces in iraq and the region and this is in response to the massacres for the exam th is annis entity agar people in gaza. while the eye run into and their proxies when the world to believe this is all about the war inside gaza's been ongoing since october 7 a massacre 114 days ago, analysts understand this is about tehran officials athere trying to light the midde east on fire. they want this to play to their advantage and are hoping a broader regional war would do just that. >> they put it on paper using the israel and response in gaza as an excuse to attack u.s. troops how it might netanyahu

react to this? will he see his war against hamas as separate? >> the israelis have been preparing for the possibility of striking i run for years. under sandy developing a nuclear program and ironic as a direct threat to the jewish state. the israelis we watching tonight in the following days very closely to see with the american response will be to this drone attack on the border between jordan and syria. we cannot expect counterparts to be briefing one another at secretary of defense lloyd austin likely to speak with the country's minister of defense here in israel because again there is concern that if this unravels into a broader regional war around may not directly respond. but instead use their main proxy in the trend for it to launch missiles or rockets into israel it's part of what they have been dealing with the past three months cindy war erupted in early october.

it's a partner with the preparations are. when you look at the organization that's taking responsibility for the deadly drone attack against american forces in jordan it is the same organization that took responsibility for rocket and drone attacks against major israeli population centers including israel third largest third-largestcity in their sout. so in the future of the coming days it is certainly something israel will have to be looking out for you cannot expect israeli forces and air defense systems to remain on high alert. arthel: indeed, trey yingst as always thank you. eric: the attack only the latest and u.s. forces in the middle east over the past three months. most of them blamed on the iranian proxies as we have said there's been at least 159 attacks look at the map all across the area since the israelis and the hamas war began hamas brutally attacked israel at that time. today's assault however it was the first deadly one for our forces the person to strike

jordan. joining us on the phone our chief national security correspondent jennifer griffin. jennifer, first question to the secretary of defense often back on the job what is the pentagon saying and their reaction about this attack? >> the pentagon is saying defense secretary austin will be in the pentagon for the first time since december 22 surgery, tomorrow he will be there to host but he did participate in all of the calls with the president and to brief the prespresident today he has been engaged from home by a secure link. this is what is interesting this is not just the deadliest attack on u.s. forces since october 7 the war in gaza it is the deadliest attack on u.s. forces since abbey gate in august of 2021 when the suicide bomber killed 13 u.s. service members tower 22 which is based on the border with syria just across the border inside jordan is at an interesting inflection point and crossing point.

it is aware iraq comic jordan and syria come together and in fact not very far away is the airbase. as well as the base where those u.s. special forces have been base there is a safe zone around the space that is protected very, very carefully. but those hundreds of u.s. troops that tower 22 and were hit while they were sleeping last night generally serve as logistics and support to the u.s. special forces. it is interesting to note the timing of this attack i came as word of a possible cease-fire in gaza and release of houses member cia director bill burns was meeting with the egyptians aand a chief as well as the prie minister of qatar over the weekend. there was an expected good news in the coming hours and days.

it is also clear it coincides with talks between the u.s. and iraq this week about the future of u.s. forces in iraq. it is clear the eye iranian's under this new umbrella group they have formed of a proxy forces including hezbollah and others have called themselves the islamic resistance of iraq which translates to hamas of iraq there is a reason ironic trying to link these attacks on u.s. forces and attempt to push u.s. bases out of iraq to the fight in gaza because of the popularity across the region in terms of anti- israel sentiment because of the gaza fighting. this is clearly time to disrupt not only a possible cease-fire in gaza but talks between u.s. and iraq. secretary austin issued a statement which he said he was outraged deeply saddened by the deaths of those who have been wounded in this attack he said quote and ran back to militias

are responsible for the continued attacks on u.s. forces we will respond at a time and place of our choosing. that statement came out just a little while ago. so right now we are in a watch and wait to mode you have for the president as well as the defense secretary saying the u.s. will respond. eric: the question will be what that response will be in a pooll target in the iranian assets. and for griffin is always thank you. >> alright eric and jennifer thank you for more this we are bringing in jamil jaffer founder and executive director of the national security institute. i do want to pick up where jennifer just left off. in addition to expressing outrage and deep sadness elsewhere in his statement defense secretary austin said around back militias are responsible for the continued attacks on u.s. forces and we

will respond at a time and place of our choosing. the present and i will not tolerate attacks on american forces will take all necessary action to defend the united states our troops and our interest at those are strong words what type of action should back up those words? >> the challengers we've been seeing these attacks go on and on and on. this is over 150 attack since october alone well over 300 attacks in the last few years this has is been happening overd over again. it goes back short time with my running it back to group them or setting penetrators iran was an explosive penetrators to kill american troops this is nothing new. we've got to take stiff action is god directly against iran. i could not be against the houthis are proxies in yemen or the proxy groups in iraq concert

we dictated some stiff action in baghdad taking out a leader a few weeks back that's clearly not enough of got to take action directly against iran we have precedent widow president trump took action at soleimani the head of the quds force a few years back with both counterattacks begin the last him in the last administration. >> given your experience what do you make of the timing of these attacks? what are you a laser focus on the next 48 hours? >> i am focus with the u.s. is going to take direct action. it's going to save time and place of our choosing of course we should wait until we have the right moment the action has to be strong but has to be decisive i have to be clear and targeted directly at iraq i'm looking for the present secretary of defense often to step up to the right thing to take action against iran economic sanctions are it got to be military action and hit the road where it hurts. arthel: this is a volatile

situation we had general kellogg on earlier we have got to keep a cool head we've got to be strong, forceful in our retaliation has to be purposeful. but we cannot be emotional is there a way to avert an all out world were scale escalation? we could do think there's a way to avoid it. iran does not want to provoke a war the united states they know that's where they cannot win so they do not want to provoke it with they are looking to do is to continue to take advantage of the fact would not actively respond against them we have taken shots at their proxies on occasion frankly not often enough we never come directly at them to the contrary this administration is engaged in giving iran's significant amounts of money to restart the field iran nuclear deal that was a mistake from the beginning the president should admit it, say so come hard with it offense of attack. >> how do you reengineer that and go back to where whatever was working?

>> on think iran just like russia, china and north korea understand his force or talk about diplomacy, negotiating that's terms that they operate the potential operate in those terms but they extort us and don't effectively take action. what we need to do is to respond in ways that understand which is to use force. they know what to where they cannot win and as a result they felt free to come after our people and injured dozens of americans and killing three americans in jordan we should be clear it will take action if we need to if that means killing senior iranian leadership so be it. arthel: we will leave it there, thank you very much. cross president biden facing mounting pressure on capitol hill to retaliate militarily for the deadly attacks on our troops will have a reaction from

arthel: and growing calls for president biden to take action after a drone strike killed three u.s. troops in jordan overnights. the attack is also renewing a bipartisan push by lawmakers demanding to know who has the power to authorize the use of military force congress or the president? for more on this fox news senior congressional correspondent chatted program joins us now on the phone. so chad, doesn't the commander-in-chief have the power to authorize use of military force and then has to follow up with an explanation to congress? >> there are two things that control them. one wo will be the second artice of the constitution which the president, commander-in-chief has full military might to at his >> and call up with the other thing to be that war powers resolution of 1973 which gives a president more latitude to commission strikes in retaliation and then report to congress. although some in congress have found that to be a little flimsy

over the years. this was put together the shadow of vietnam and that's why some people said what he has basically done is empowered administrations of both parties and congress is left sitting on the bench here. the question right now is, is the u.s. at war kind of in the shadow war? that is where you have these military operations that have been going on against the houthis for a while now. what is the authorization to do that? if you look that article one section eight of the constitution, gives congress the power to declare war. if you listen to the rhetoric especially from the whites, the center from arkansas he uses the united states should hit iran if the president does that that will confirm joe biden as a coward, his word. lindsey graham called for action on the ground to hit iran specifically on u.s. soil for the same token here you have mitch mcconnell who sat on the

floor of the said this past week he believes the president has the authority to do what he needs to do wishes he would've done more of it. he says quote in a statement this afternoon, mitch mcconnell that i iranian sponsors of this type of action and terrorism where american blood and a badge of honor. arthel: we are in a very tenuous situation, a quick answer for me. how much do you think politics will muck this up part in that expression. >> certainly republicans cast doubt on how confident and competent the president is in these foreign affairs you can see them in a presidential election year using this to portray the administration is as being soft on iran. and letting the situation get out of hand they have been hammering him for a while you do have politics on the other side of dale barbara lee a democrat for oakland running for the senate voted against the

authorization to go into of afghanistan after 911 she said the violence is spiraling out of control she says we must have a cease-fire in gaza. >> all right chad pergram thank you very much for all of those details from capitol hill. before for months the attacks against western shipping and our forces have continued despite our and our ally strikes against the terrorists. now sadly the tragic result that many feared american blood spilled by a radiant backed terrorist groups. president biden's" have no doubt we will hold all of those responsible to account at a time and in a manner of our choosing. so will that be former national deputies to but kt eight mcfarlane joins us now. do you have confidence they will probally retaliate against iran in the killing of our forces? >> they haven't done so, so far. can't imagine the going to do

it. here's the problem people once a week got to attack iran americans are dead. we are at war with iran and i understand that. on the other hand the biden mibydemonstration will do sometg the go to the un and pound sand bell couple places it's not deterring iran. the thing i keep going back to and is in the reagan administration in the late 1980s president reagan was commander-in-chief of the iranian navy fired on american vessels mines and ships were struck. what three they went after the iranian navy they took off about half of it. we haven't heard from iran after that for years, for decades but what iran did as they learn the lesson they did not want a direct attack on iran so they put proxies all over there's proxies in lebanon, proxies in gaza, proxies in yemen. proxies in lebanon and syria and

iraq those of the people now attacking it military and commercial vessels that is where we should start. to go bomb iran right now we should be bombing the airfields the drones take off abort missile launchers that are firing on our ships that is where you go first that would also target iran's economy we do not want a full-blown war in the middle east. on the other hand we cannot continue to do nothing because iran is showing through its proxies is upping the ante every time what happens now if a week from now an american ship is struck and sunk 200 americans would be dead they'll be a call for blood will be sucked into mother forever were in the middle east which we are not prepared for fight and we don't want too. which could have been prevented if we could reestablish deterrence. eric: e reference what happened in the 1980s. the iranian tanker we've been wn talking with us for several weeks. 1988 i think it was april several be roberts hit that iranian mine. several sailors were severely

injured and that you are absolutely right president ronald reagan ordered bombing of an iranian oil platform. bombing of an iranian oil field and took out as you said about half of the iranian navy. and at that time no one was killed. what type of reaction would you want to see from president biden right now against the eye rgc against the force what can the u.s. attack perhaps in iran now that would send the blunt message to tehran? so into it say that maybe you need to do that later what you could attack right now is the airfields the drums are coming out of whether it isn't syria or in a rocker. you could take out the fields in yemen where the houthis areas in the missile launchers. take those proxy places out because if you do have to fight around on the road you do not want to have a firing coming from all those other places at the united states. take those out first and take those out within the next 48 hours.

we know the airfields we know where the missile launchers ardarewe know where the ammunitn dumps are in the proxy countries. take that stuff out now. and then we will soon iran's responses may be they respond maybe they don't. if they do. support the u.s. has been doing that. against the houthis launcher sites for example. >> come on no we said we did it but we took out 20% of their capacity we could have done it a couple weeks of the made a big deal were taking up the missile launchers we are taking out be houthis it turns out once the dust settled they take that 20% of their capability how about taking out 90%? we could do that in yemen. we could do that in syria we could do that and iraq we could do that throughout the region go after those proxy forces first that's the problem the bite administration has not done that. they have had strong statements they've gone to the u.s. and une ineffective attacks they have not taken out the places where the missiles are coming from the

where the drones are taking off from that as we should go first. >> finally if the administration does not do that but take some other softer action what is your prediction? correctwe'll have more of thesed more of these the proxies are upping the ante every day they're becoming more frequent they are becoming more intense and at some point just the defense of we are doing perimeter defense were shooting eight missile out as it's just about to hit an american vessel at some point were going to and once going to get through it ywhatyou're going to have massie international then were going to be forced into a war it's probably a wart we will win but do we really want another forever were in the middle east? we did afghanistan, we did iraq. how about making sure we target the iranian economy and force the sanctions. push the price of oil down guess what iran doesn't have the money to pay the proxies to go to war. the next 24 or 48 hours we need to take out the sites where the missiles are coming from in the proxy states.

nash joins us now. captain nash if you could first of i want to start here it's my understanding some of the injured troops from last night attack were a medevac to germany. give us an idea of what is going on logistically to get our service members to less vulnerable positions the middle east? >> we have over 2000 service personnel stationed in jordan. most of them are at an airbase and down close to them on. this attack took place in what we will call the front tier. the folks at the airbase are there mostly for logistics. any of the wounded would be taken to that airbase and flown which is a magnificent hospital they specialize in critical casualty care. that is the first best place to go. after that, once the patients

are stable they will probably be flown to the national military cecenter at walter reed. arthel: thank you. i want to now take a look at a statement pretty statement releases after defense secretary lloyd often expressed outrage said he is deeply saddened by the deaths of three of our service members and the wounding of other american troops. secretary austin also said the troops in northeastern jordan to work for the lasting defeat of isis. i ask you, how will the attack impact that mission and is isis strong enough or organized enough to somehow take advantage of the iranian proxy attack? >> a lot of what is going on up there on the front tier which is in the border of jordan and syria and iraq it's like a trite border area there. it is a base where we have

special forces and some other folks. what they are trying to do is interdict ground shipments on highway one the highway that comes out of iraq it goes all the way actually across the country into iran. by setting up chokepoint there they can interdict ground shipments of weapons to isis and two other players in syria. so, the support base that got attackattack is on the jordaniae of that border it is called rook bond you can look it up on a map and see how close it is. you could sit very easily on the other side of that border in iraq where these groups hezbollah has been operating. k.t. mcfarland is exactly right we know where these places are. that is what we need to do is go out and smoke these things not pick pin prick them i mean smoke them leave nothing but rubble

and smoke behind. it will take out a bunch of people. what has happened unfortunately it is they did this so we did that very proportional very nice they did this we did that. when they did this so we had just jumped to where we are going to go anyway it would have been over and nobody would have died except the bad guys. but now we are going to have to do is we are going to have to do something like this to try to clawback the deterrence that would have kept them at bay in the first place. so things are going to really interesting. arthel: senate minority leader mitch mcconnell released a statement as well this afternoon and in part says quotes the entire world and now watches for signs that the president's fisfinally prepared to exercise american strengths to repel iran and changes behavior our enemies are emboldened. so in my last minute with you captain nash who is watching to

follow the u.s. lead? who is looking for weakness? >> the iranians are looking for weakness. those who will follow are those who have the most to lose in this. the united states at this point has the most to lose as to all of the other countries in europe who would aligned with the united states but also have fifth columns within their countries. our southern border has been wide open we have had millions, crossed many from countries that would support iranian efforts. that is what we have got to worry about here on the homefront as well. >> we will leave it there captain chuck nash thank you very much for joining us today as always we appreciate your expertise thank you. and we will be right back thank you. year. when people switch their dog's food from kibble
