In the wake of the attack on the US Armed Forces on the border of Iraq and Syria, American President Joe Biden has ordered a response to be developed. The proposals include a possible strike on Iranian servicemen who are in Iraq and Syria, Politico reported.
The Pentagon is considering several options that would deter other attacks and not escalate the situation.
After the president's approval, retaliatory measures will be taken within a couple of days, the strikes will be carried out in waves against a number of targets. Experts noted that Biden will not talk about retaliatory measures until a final decision is made. Retaliatory measures could inflame the situation in the Middle East.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that retaliatory actions may have several stages.
The reason why the military did not attack an enemy drone at a US base in Jordan has been named. More than 30 military personnel may have been injured in the UAV attack.
