The deaths of three US servicemen Sunday in an attack by an #Iran-backed #ShiiteMilitia at a base wedged between Syria and Jordan has raised the specter of a direct confrontation between the United States and Iran like never before. But are things as black and white as they seem? Does Iran have full control over the Shiite militias that are part of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces created to fight the Islamic State? ...What is the end game?

🇺🇸 Senator Chris Van Hollen tells #AlMonitor that #Turkey is an “unfaithful ally”, calls for “different kind of sanctions” if #Erdogan blocks #Sweden & #Finland in #NATO.

“If Erdogan blocks Sweden and Finland from NATO there will be no F-16 to Turkey” Senator Van Hollen says.
