"Biden's Decision: US Response to Jordan Attack and Fallen Soldiers"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by BBC.com
President Joe Biden has stated that he has decided on a response to the drone strike that killed three American troops in Jordan, without providing further details. The attack, claimed by an Iran-backed militia group, has prompted discussions of potential US retaliatory actions, including a "tiered approach" to degrade the capabilities of the groups responsible. The president has various options, such as targeting Iran-allied bases and commanders, to protect US troops and facilities in the region. The strike, which occurred at a US military base in Jordan, resulted in the deaths of three soldiers and injuries to over 40 others, with tensions escalating as Iran denies involvement and the Iraqi government calls for an end to the cycle of violence in the Middle East.
