"US Retaliates with Airstrikes Against Iran-Backed Groups in Middle East"

The U.S. has conducted strikes against pro-Iranian paramilitary groups in Iraq and Syria in retaliation for a drone strike in Jordan, with satellite imagery showing the impact of the strikes. Despite the Pentagon's assertion that the strikes are a deterrent, Iranian-backed groups continue to target U.S. bases, leading to concerns about further escalation. President Biden has pledged to continue responding to threats, while analysts warn of potential asymmetric retaliation from Iranian forces and militia groups.
