The President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, decided on measures in response to the drone attack on the American military in Jordan, writes Reuters.
Journalists asked Biden whether he had decided how he would respond to the terrorist attacks.
"Yes," the president answered briefly, without elaborating.
At the same time, Biden emphasized that Iran is responsible for the attack, as it supplies weapons to militants who then carry out strikes. But according to the American leader, the U.S. does not want a war with Iran.
"I don't think we need a wider war in the Middle East. That's not what I'm looking for," the president said.
