Biden administration approves retaliatory measures for the deaths of three US soldiers in Jordan?. Since October last year, when Israel and the Islamic organization Hamas began a military conflict, Iranian-backed militias have repeatedly attacked American troops stationed in Syria and Iraq in solidarity with Hamas.

On the 28th, a US military base in Jordan was also attacked, killing three soldiers, and the US government believes that these organizations were involved in the attack. The United States had been considering retaliation for this attack, but on the 1st, American CBS television reported that the Biden administration had approved a multi-day attack.
