Lawmakers in Congress are hitting back at some senators’ calls for a direct U.S. strike on Iran, with some calling the suggestion “insane.”

On the evening of Jan. 27, a drone strike on a U.S. base in Jordan ended in three U.S. Army soldiers’ deaths and injury to more than 30 others. The drone strike is alleged by federal officials to have come from a group based in Syria and backed by Iran, the latest in a string of attacks by proxies of the Islamic state.
