"U.S. Approval of Strikes on Iranian Personnel and Facilities in Response to Jordan Attack"

After the deaths of three American service members in a drone attack in Jordan, U.S. forces are expected to launch retaliatory strikes against Iran-backed militant groups across the Middle East. However, the delay in action has given these groups time to prepare and go into hiding, while Iran's president has warned of a strong response to any aggression. Experts caution that any counterattack risks escalating tensions and drawing the U.S. deeper into the region, as both sides are at the mercy of a single mistake or miscalculation that could spiral out of control.

"Biden's Response: US Prepares Retaliatory Strikes for Iran-Backed Attacks"

The US is preparing to carry out retaliatory strikes against Iran-backed militants in response to a drone attack that killed three American service members in Jordan. President Joe Biden has indicated that the strikes will be deliberate and targeted at facilities enabling the attacks on US forces, while also emphasizing that the US is not seeking a wider war in the Middle East. The attack, described as a dramatic escalation in tensions, has prompted discussions between the Pentagon, CENTCOM, and the White House on the appropriate response. Meanwhile, some Republicans have called for a major reset of US Middle East policy, while Secretary of State Antony Blinken has emphasized that the response will be decisive and sustained over time.
