“We believe that the attack in Jordan was planned, resourced and carried out by an umbrella group called the Islamic Resistance in Iraq,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.

Kirby emphasized that this group includes Kataib Hezbollah.

As a result of the attack on January 28, three American soldiers were killed, and another 40 people were injured. US President Joe Biden said Iranian-backed militant groups in Syria and Iraq were responsible for the attack. Iran, for its part, said it had nothing to do with the strike.
