Iran Warns of 'Decisive Response' to US Retaliation for Jordan Attack

As tensions escalate, President Biden seeks a measured response to avoid sparking direct warfare with Iran.

Iran has threatened to 'decisively respond' to any US strikes following the drone attack on a US military base in Jordan that killed three American soldiers and injured at least 40.
The US is preparing for retaliatory strikes, but concerns remain that further American action could escalate tensions in a region already destabilized by Israel's ongoing war with Hamas and attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels on Red Sea shipping.
US President Joe Biden is seeking a response that is strong enough to deter Iran and its proxies without sparking direct warfare with the Islamic Republic.
Iran's UN Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani denied that Iran and the US had exchanged any messages over the last few days, contradicting reports from Al Jazeera.
Despite the threats, Iran's Revolutionary Guard commander General Hossein Salami stated that Iran is not seeking war, but is not afraid of it.
