**From my understanding the attack was on Al Tanf base in Syria. Despite claims this took place in Jordan. Claims Jordan has denied.**

> President Joe Biden says he has decided how the US will respond to a drone strike that [killed three American troops in Jordan at the weekend](https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/507797/three-us-troops-killed-in-drone-attack-in-jordan).
> 
> Speaking as he left the White House for fundraisers in Florida, Biden added: ***“I don’t think we need a wider war in the Middle East.”***
> 
> An Iran-backed militia group has claimed responsibility for the attack at a US military base.
> 
> Dozens more were injured in Sunday’s strike near the Syrian border.
> 
> Biden did not detail exactly what the US action might be, but ***the White House on Monday promised a “very consequential response”.***

> The president **did not specify what the U.S. would do in response to the attack by Iranian proxies, but said “yes” when asked if he had decided how to respond.**

> ***“I don’t think we need a wider war in the Middle East. That’s not what I’m looking for,”*** Biden told reporters as he left the White House for campaign events in Florida.

**So, will there be a response but what will it be considering Biden’s claim of not wanting wider war.**
