/ US President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that he had made the decision regarding 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 regarding the nature of the response to the attacks that killed American soldiers in Jordan,” adding, “We do not want a broader war in the Middle East.”
For its part, the White House stated that it was “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, possibly in the form of multiple measures.”
Today, Tuesday, American media said that President Joe Biden met with the national security team, to decide on the options presented to respond to the attack that targeted an American base on the Jordanian-Syrian border, and resulted in the killing of three soldiers.
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin pledged on Monday that the United States would take “all necessary measures” to defend American forces, expressing his anger and regret that Iranian-backed militants carried out a drone attack yesterday, Sunday, that killed three American soldiers and injured dozens of others.
