According to Bloomberg, the White House is considering a secret strike against Iran in response to an Iranian drone attack that killed three American soldiers in Jordan. According to an agency source familiar with the US , the administration is ready to strike without taking direct responsibility for it.
President Joe Biden , on the one hand, seeks to punish those responsible for the attack and deter Iran from further actions in the region, but, on the other hand, faces an important choice about the possible consequences. Such a strike could provoke a direct confrontation between the US and Iran's leadership and lead to economic upheaval.
It is worth considering that US Senator Lindsey Graham called on the Biden administration to take measures against Iran after the attack on the US base in Jordan. President Biden said that the base was attacked by radical groups that receive support from Iran.
The threat of a further escalation of the conflict could threaten US for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip and provoke a deeper dive into the regional conflict.
It is worth noting that Iran denies involvement in the attacks and emphasizes the conflict between the US military and resistance groups in the region.
