Jordan attack response decided – Biden

WASHINGTON, D.C.: United States President Joe Biden indicated on Tuesday that he had decided how to respond to the killing of three American servicemen in Sunday's drone attack in Jordan that his administration has pinned on Iran-backed militia groups, saying he does not want to expand the war in the Middle East but demurring on specifics.

US officials said they were still determining which of several Iran-backed groups was responsible for the first killing of American troops in a wave of attacks against US forces in the region since Hamas' deadly attacks on southern Israel on October 7.
