/ US President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that he had made a decision on the nature of the response to the Jordan attack that killed 3 American soldiers and injured more than 30 others.
Biden explained that he “made the decision on the nature of the response to the attacks that killed American soldiers in Jordan,” adding, “We do not want a wider war in the Middle East.”
For its part, the White House said that it “is not in a position to talk about the group that was behind the attack in Jordan.”
He pointed out that “it is possible that the response to the attack on American soldiers in Jordan will be in stages.”
The White House continued, “We will respond to the targeting of our soldiers in an appropriate manner, and this could be in the form of multiple measures.”
On Tuesday, American media reported that President Joe Biden met with the national security team to decide on the options available to respond to the attack that targeted an American base on the Jordanian-Syrian border, which resulted in the death of three soldiers.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin vowed on Monday that the United States would take “all necessary measures” to defend American forces, expressing anger and regret over a drone attack carried out by Iranian-backed militants on Sunday that killed three American soldiers and wounded dozens more.
