So it was a Hezbollah subsidiary who hit US forces.

Biden needs to have the balls to help end Hamas and all the little branches of Hezbollah, while also dealing with the fucking Ayatollah and IRGC for good.

But that won't happen before the Inauguration Day in 2025, at the earliest, because Biden is scared shitless of actually fighting back, instead of just playing defense, during an election year, despite the ability of the Dems to rig the machine anyway.

I think Biden is scared of being 'retired' and having Kamala or Newsom take his place on the ballot.
 
Why are US forces still in Iraq?

Yesterday United States launched a strike in Iraq that killed a Abu Takwa al Saadi, a local Brigade Commander of the Iranian-backed Al-Nujaba miltia which is linked to the Popular Mobilization Forces. Also killed in the strike was one of his aides and two other fighters with several more reported injured. The militia logistics facility was reportedly struck by two rockets.

This comes after strikes in Lebanon and Syria that killed other Iranian-backed militant leaders likely launched by Israeli forces.

When it becomes standing policy to target civilian populations in order to intimidating the enemy into doing what they want.

Ummm....WWII bombings of Japan and Germany. Pretty standard practice hitting civilian targets.

Mind you...our tech has allowed us to get away from that practice so I'm not sure that's the most telling point, but it's there in our history.

So, when do USA and Israel get added to the list of terrorist states?

The United States and Israel are already on Iran's List of Terrorist Sponsors.

They have a whole list of individuals and groups under sanction for being state sponsors of terror on their Foreign Ministry website.

Oh so that's why Hamas violated the Cease Fire on October 7th. It was in solidarity and reprisal for the Lavon Affair?

What's even funnier is that Israel has actually admitted to that operation, which was initiated back in 1954, mind you, and it was during a rather convoluted mess geopolitically. The Israelis themselves admit it was "bad business", as they call it. Even more ironically, the only deaths were four operatives working for Israel.

There was also 1967 which they didn't admit it was bad affair and got rewarded.

Well don't worry, the United Nations in repeated fact finding reports has found Israel guilty of terrorism against Palestinians for over the past two decades which are much recent so hopefully that can assuage the original question of 'Why Israel isn't added to lists of terrorist states.' The United Nations, AFAIK doesn't maintain lists of state sponsors of terrorism but you'll take comfort in knowing that Israel has been the country most sanctioned for its conduct in violation of international law in recent decades, far surpassing that of Iran or the United States!

Jordan?
They've not come to the party for a long while, AFAIK.

It's due to Syria's role in the local drug trade. Assad and Hezbollah has created an illegal drug manufacturing industry worth billions based off of largely captagon pills which are trafficked from Syria through and into Jordan and Iraq and further into the Arabian Peninsula and Gulf States.

Part of the deal supposedly to bring Syria back into the Arab League was that Assad would curb his own drug cartels but that apparently hasn't happened, at least to a degree that Jordan expected.

A little white pill, Captagon, gives Syria's Assad a strong tool in winning over Arab states

BEIRUT (AP) — A little white pill has given Syrian President Bashar Assad powerful leverage with his Arab neighbors, who have been willing to bring him out of pariah status in hopes he will stop the flow of highly addictive Captagon amphetamines out of Syria.
