Fox News: Biden saying 'Don't' and other threats seemingly fail to deter Iran as more US Mideast bases hit
In the shadowy alleys of geopolitics, President Biden's warnings to Iran sound like a cheap echo—"Don’t," uttered just days before Tehran’s militias struck again, wounding Americans in Iraq and Syria. Critics scoff, claiming his stances lack teeth, as strikes proliferate unabated.
With the U.S. caught in a dangerous dance of restraint, experts warn this cycle only fuels Tehran's bravado, making the promise of deterrence feel as distant as a mirage in the desert. The stakes rise as Iran's proxies continue their bid to challenge American presence in the Middle East.
