Following the killing of three American soldiers by Iranian-backed militias last weekend, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan has indicated that the United States plans to undertake further strikes against Iranian-backed groups in the Middle East. While the U.S. launched airstrikes targeting Iranian proxies in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen over the weekend, officials have stated that there will be no airstrikes in Iran in response to the drone attack. CNN quoted a senior White House official, confirming that the U.S. will not strike inside Iran. However, Sullivan did not rule out strikes inside Iran if the situation in the region continues to escalate, stating that the strikes on Friday night are not the end of the matter and that the U.S. will launch other strikes and take additional measures. President Biden has emphasized a forceful response to attacks on American forces but also clarified that the U.S. is not seeking a wider war in the Middle East, as reported by NBC News.
