could be stronger than previous retaliatory attacks in Iraq and Syria. This was reported by CNN with reference to its own sources.

According to the source, the Pentagon and the White House are trying to keep their plans secret. The TV channel clarifies that US President Joe Biden is under “increasing pressure” after the attacks on a base in Jordan.

Thus, some Republicans called for a direct US retaliatory strike towards Iran. It is noted that the White House is considering striking Iranian groups in Syria and Iraq. An “offensive cyber attack” is being considered as another option to strike, the TV channel concluded.

As Regnum reported, on January 28, as a result of a night drone attack on a US base in Jordan, three American servicemen were killed and 20 more people were injured. According to officials, the drone was launched by Iran-backed militants from Syria.

Biden blamed the strike on “pro-Iranian groups” in Syria and Iraq. He promised to bring all those responsible to justice and instructed his aides to prepare options for a response to Tehran, including a military one.
