US President Joe Biden has ordered a military response following the tragic deaths of three American soldiers in Jordan by a drone attack carried out by Iranian-backed militant groups. The soldiers' remains were returned to the US on Sunday, and President Biden expressed his condolences to their families.
In retaliation, today, US military forces targeted facilities in Iraq and Syria known to be used by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and affiliated militias for attacks against American troops. President Biden emphasized that the United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else but warned that those who harm Americans will face a response. He stated, "Our response began today. It will continue at times and places of our choosing."
The President's message underscores the US commitment to protecting its forces while emphasizing a desire for peace, making it clear that any harm to Americans will be met with a decisive response.
