Iran threatens to respond if the US retaliates for the attack in Jordan: “We are not afraid of war”. Biden said he is preparing strikes in the Middle East to respond to the drone strike that left three soldiers dead and 40 wounded at a secret base in Jordan.
There are concerns that any additional US strike could further inflame tempers in a region already agitated by Israel's war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip and attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels on shipping in the Red Sea.
