/ The Wall Street Journal reported, quoting two American officials, that the United States is considering launching strikes against armed factions in Iraq, Syria and Iran.
US officials said an attack on Iranian territory appeared to be a less likely option.
In addition to determining how to respond to the drone attack on Tower 22 in Jordan, the US administration is also considering strikes against Houthi targets in response to their attacks on US commercial military vessels.
The Pentagon said that the USS Karen destroyer on Friday shot down a ballistic missile fired at it from an area controlled by the Houthis in Yemen, the second time the United States has announced that the group has targeted one of its military ships.
Yesterday, Sunday, the US Army announced that three of its soldiers were killed and about 25 others were injured in a drone attack targeting a base housing US forces in Jordan.
American media reported that the targeted site was “Tower 22”, a small military site in Jordan, near the country’s border with Syria.
