The White House: We do not want war with Iran, but we will respond to the attack in Jordan

A National Security Council spokesman was asked at the conference whether the president was considering striking Iran in connection with Sunday's attack on US forces in Jordan at the Tower 22 base on the border with Syria.

“The aim of everything we have done so far has been to try to calm these tensions. However, this was a very serious attack with deadly consequences. We will respond and we will respond accordingly,” John Kirby stressed.

John Kirby: We know that Iran supports militias in Syria and Iraq

According to the Pentagon, three soldiers were killed in the attack and at least 40 others were injured. Kirby said that although US agencies are investigating the extent of Iran's involvement in the attacks, it is clear that Iran supports militias in Syria and Iraq, which have carried out nearly 170 attacks against US forces in the region since October.

-We know they support them. We know that they provide them with resources. We know they are training them. We know that they will certainly not be deterred from these attacks, whether it is the Houthi attacks, or what Hamas did on October 7, or what Hezbollah is capable of doing. And of course what these militias are still doing now in places like Iraq and Syria, Kirby said.
