'Hit Iran now': Senators call on Biden administration to hold Iran accountable for deadly strike

Several US Senators have called for military attacks against Iran in response to today's deadly strike against US troops near the Jordan-Syria border. 

While Iran has not commented on today's attack, in the past it has been clear that such actions are not conducted or planned by Iran, but rather by its "axis of resistance" allies, which make decisions based on their own assessments.

Following today's attack, US Sentaor Lindsey Graham, a Republican, said that the US Defense Department's "efforts to deter aggression against our forces in the region has failed miserably".

"I’ve long since lost confidence in the Biden national security team to deter Iran. If they do not change their policies now, more American service members in the region will pay the price," he continued. 

The post was followed by another that reads only: "Hit Iran now. Hit them hard."

Republican Senator John Cornyn shared a similar post, which reads: "Target Tehran"

US Senator Jacky Rosen, a Democrat who is staunchly pro-Israel, posted that Iran "must be held accountable".
