Last month, a successful raid conducted by the elite 75th Ranger Regiment resulted in the elimination of four ISIS leaders. The operation, which saw seven American soldiers wounded, showcased the bravery and skill of the military personnel involved. Despite the intense ground combat, Vice President Kamala Harris commended the operation, emphasizing that currently, no U.S. military member is in active duty in a combat zone, a significant milestone for this century.
Meanwhile, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower has been actively engaged in launching F-18 Super Hornets to carry out airstrikes against Iran's rebel army in Yemen. The Navy reported a significant level of combat activity, including the launch of 155 surface-to-air missiles, 135 Tomahawk cruise missiles, and the firing of 60 air-to-air missiles, along with 420 bombs dropped by Ike's jets, marking a level of combat unseen since World War II.
Additionally, the U.S. Military Central Command confirmed that the recent strike force operation in Iraq resulted in the elimination of four ISIS leaders, one of whom had a $5 million bounty on his head. The White House, during a meeting with British officials, refrained from commenting on potential long-range strikes by Ukraine into Russia using American or British missiles, indicating that no decision has been made.
Amidst escalating tensions, Russia's leaders have issued threats of a nuclear strike on Ukraine in response to the possibility of deep strikes into Russian territory. President Biden acknowledged the seriousness of the threat while downplaying the significance of Russian President Vladimir Putin's remarks. The situation remains fluid as diplomatic efforts continue to navigate the delicate balance of power in the region.
