USA responds to deadly drone attack with counterattack. Three US soldiers died in drone strikes in Jordan.
According to media reports, the USA has now responded with counterstrikes on Iraq and Syria. Pro-Iranian militias have been attacking the US military in the Middle East for months. In response, the US and Britain, with the support of allies, carried out military strikes against the Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen. The US air strikes have not yet deterred the militias from further attacks. Concerns about escalation are growing.
