President Joe Biden has promised a strong response to Sunday's deadly attack on a US military base in Jordan.

But the challenge for the US is to find the right balance between deterrence and escalation.

The US will already have a number of "on-the-shelf" military options to choose from, drawn up by the US Department of Defense with intelligence input from the CIA and the National Security Agency.

White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said the US might take a "tiered approach" in its response.

Attacks by Iran-backed militias pre-date the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza - but they have dramatically increased since 7 October.

We live in a world that everyone talks about revenge and retaliation.

Everyone knows this base was not even in Jordan and was in fact in Syria

Israel ow.ns the U.S foreign policy in the Middle East. Its a threat from the inside. This is what got us into this in the first place.

Its weird because even Jordan in their media deny the attack. Something ain't right.

This was NOT an attack on a base in Jordan!
It was an attack on an illegal US base in Syria, al-Tanf lies in Syria, which the US is occupying against all international conventions and law.

Any attack on arms SUPPLIERS for arms USE by others could set a precedent that could backfire heavily against the USA as the world's largest arms supplier !

Why does the USA have an army base in Jordan on an oil field to start with?

Why don't you mind your own business in your own country? As an American or Britush, it's not like we have anything better to do, right? 🙄

Was the base in Jordan or Syria? (clue - what did the Jordan administration have to say about this). Why does the US have bases in Syria? Unless they were authorised by Syria then surely they would be in illegal occupying force?
