The Pentagon is awaiting Biden's decision to respond to the Jordan attack, and the death toll exceeds 40. The Pentagon said that the attack carried out by a drone targeting American forces at the “Tower 22” base in northeastern Jordan on Sunday bore the fingerprints of the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades.
The Jordan attack is the first targeting that has left American forces dead since the start of the war on Gaza last October, and Western reports have described it as a dangerous regional escalation. American forces in Iraq and Syria have been subjected to 165 attacks since last October 17.
