[Washington Kyodo] On the 30th, Democratic President Biden, who is seeking re-election in the U.S. presidential election in November, said, "I don't care."When asked on the 30th whether former President Trump, who is considered to be the likely Republican nominee, should be allowed to run, he said, "I don't care." While the Federal Supreme Court's decision on whether or not he is eligible to run is in the spotlight, he has indicated that he will not object. He spoke to reporters at the White House.
Trump has been indicted for inciting the 2021 Capitol attack, and the Western Colorado Supreme Court ruled in December last year to disqualify him from running for office on the grounds that he violated the constitutional provision barring him from holding public office. It is left to the court. Mr. Biden plans to respect the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling.

According to U.S. Central Command and other sources, at around 4 p.m. ET on the 2nd, more than 125 precision missiles were fired over a period of about 30 minutes at more than 85 targets in three facilities in Iraq and four in Syria. A large number of fighter aircraft were used, including the B1 strategic bomber from the United States. Targets include command and control bases, intelligence facilities, and storage facilities for rockets, missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicles (drones).
U.S. President Biden issued a statement declaring further retaliation, saying, ``Our retaliation began today, and we will continue to do so at a time and place of our choosing.'' "The United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere in the world. But we tell anyone who tries to harm us: If you harm Americans, we will retaliate."
Kirby, the U.S. National Security Council's strategic communications coordinator, told reporters that the airstrike was "successful."

Recently, a drone attack on a US military position in Jordan resulted in the deaths of three US soldiers. The United States blamed the attack on the Iraqi Islamic Resistance Movement, a coalition of pro-Iranian armed groups, but said the attack caught Iran by surprise.
Several U.S. government officials interviewed by CNN also said the attack worried Iran's leadership.
Since October last year, there have been more than 160 attacks by pro-Iranian armed groups on US forces deployed in the Middle East, and these attacks are occurring almost every day. Iran has long provided funding, equipment and training to these groups with the goal of harming the United States, but the attack in Jordan also marked the first time a U.S. military member was killed.
U.S. intelligence also suggests that Iran is concerned about attacks by Yemen-based Houthi rebels on commercial ships and other vessels in the Red Sea. This is due to concerns that the move could impede the economic interests of China and India, two of Iran's allies.
