Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the Middle East was going through an “incredibly volatile time,” telling reporters that “we have not seen a situation as grave as the one we face now across the region since at least 1973,” when The Arab-Israeli War, also known as the Yom Kippur War, resulted in a large number of deaths on both sides. The Washington Post reported that the escalating violence includes recent reports of attacks in Syria, Yemen and Lebanon, as well as a drone strike in Jordan that killed three American soldiers — which may have been the result of American air defenses confusing enemy drones and friendly aircraft.
