Biden Makes Decision on Response to Attacks in Jordan

U.S. President Joe Biden announced that he has made a decision regarding the response to the attack on the American base at the Jordan-Syria border, which resulted in the deaths of 3 American soldiers and injuries to 40 others. Biden, in a conversation with reporters today, as reported by Reuters, stated that he has decided how to respond to the attack. However, he did not specify the nature of the countermeasures that the United States might take, but emphasized that Washington does not seek to expand the conflict in the Middle East. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed that the American response to the attack on the U.S. base in Jordan, which resulted in the deaths of 3 military personnel, "could occur at several levels, taking place in phases and lasting for a certain period." It is noteworthy that the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on January 28 that a base hosting American troops at the Jordan-Syria border was attacked by a drone.
