The Iranian Americans for Liberty were sad to learn that a U.S. military drone strike killed 10 civilians, 7 of which were young children. The drone strike was authorized by President Biden and carried out by General Mark Milley.
In the past, organizations and individuals such as the National Iranian American Council, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and Mr. Trita Parsi have labeled IAL and our leadership as ‘war mongers’. We find it to be the height of hypocrisy that these organizations and individuals are not calling for accountability on this deadly drone strike that killed innocent civilians.
President Biden has made one mistake after another in Afghanistan and throughout the Middle East. His policies have embolded the Islamic Republic of Iran to expand their sponsorship of terrorist groups, handed over $80B of U.S. arms to the Taliban and left Americans behind enemy lines.
President Biden, General Milley and the entire administration must be held accountable by Members of Congress for their deadly mistakes that left 13 U.S. Servicemembers dead and scores of innocent Afghans dead.
