in response to, what so far looks like exactly the fear McGovern has been expressing for weeks.

US requires UN security council approval to attack international targets
Forensic details of the claimed attack against Tower 22 or the al Tanf base, whichever it was, are required to show that it was a) foreign aggression and b) who may have been responsible. The public have NO IDEA who initated this incident. The reports were also unclear as to where the incident occurred. There is also contention as to how the damage was made, as the munition claimed to have been used, a drone, does not equate with the claimed damage was done.
The incident may have been an Israeli proxy performing a false flag as Ray McGovern has feared and warned of for weeks.
If the incident was at Tower 22, that is in Jordanian territory and its is the Jordanians who are to initiate any demand for a response, not the US. An atttack on a US diplomatic mission, e.g an embassy, is an attack on the US, not one on a foreign military base. The later is an attack on US persons or property, which is an entirely different thing.
If the incident occurred at al Tanf, then the US has not one leg to stand on. This is an illegal military occupation of the sovereign territory of Syria. There should be no surprises at all that local paramilitaries or the Syrian Arab Army may wish to attack an OCCUPYING FOREIGN MILITARY FORCE and they are free to do whatever they wish against such an illegal entity.
Given the murky details provided so far for the attack, my spidy sense says McGovern's fears may well have been realized.
As has recently been demonstrated, a news report of the supposed attack based on ‘wires’ was misleading and murky, quoting anonymous officials and even putting words into mouth of US President Biden.
You got evidence, US? Bring it to the security council. That is how the system you set up after WWII works.
You are on notice.
