US to hit back against Middle East attacks: Who and where will it strike?
The United States has approved plans for strikes in Iraq and Syria against multiple targets, including Iranian personnel and facilities, CBS News reported on Thursday, quoting US officials. President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that he had decided how to respond to a drone attack in northeastern Jordan near the Syrian border last Sunday, which killed three US service members and wounded more than 40. Sunday's attack was the first to result in the loss of American lives during the Israel-Hamas war. Here is what's known about the US plans: The US plans to retaliate against the drone attack on the US Tower 22 base near the border between Syria and Jordan by targeting Iranian personnel and facilities inside both countries. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, believed to comprise multiple groups armed, funded and trained by Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps, has claimed responsibility for Sunday's strike on the base. But on Wednesday, Kataib Hezbollah, the most powerful element in the force, announced the suspension of hostile operations against US troops.
