"Biden's Response to Jordan Attack and Iran Tensions"

President Biden will attend a dignified transfer for the U.S. service members killed in Jordan, marking the second such event since he took office. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is also expected to attend. The White House has stated that retaliation against the Iran-backed groups responsible for the attack could last "weeks." Biden personally called the parents of one of the fallen soldiers to deliver the news of her posthumous promotion and shared his own experience with grief. The media has not always been allowed to witness dignified transfers, but a change in policy in 2009 now allows access with family consent.
