“Biden decides response to Jordan drone attack: Emphasizes caution to prevent escalation in the Middle East”

This incident marked the first instance of American soldiers being killed since October 7

Newsroom January 30 06:53

President Joe Biden has declared that he has determined the course of action in response to the drone attack on U.S. soldiers stationed in Jordan, following an assault that claimed the lives of three American soldiers. However, the President did not disclose specific details of the planned response. Emphasizing the desire to prevent a broader conflict in the Middle East, Biden stated, “We don’t need a wider war.”

The attack, orchestrated by an Iranian-backed militia group, occurred along the Syrian border and resulted in three fatalities, with numerous soldiers sustaining injuries. The White House conveyed that the forthcoming response would carry significant consequences, although efforts would be made to avoid broadening the regional conflict in the Middle East.
