President Biden faces pressure to react to a drone strike in Jordan that killed three US troops, possibly due to mistaken identity.

The deadly drone attack by Iran-backed militias marks the first American deaths in a series of over 150 similar incidents targeting US forces in the region.

Iran is accused by the White House and Pentagon of orchestrating the attack, prompting calls for retaliation amidst concerns of escalating regional tensions.

US military presence spans across Iraq, Syria, and other Middle Eastern countries, with global operations in over 150 countries, raising vulnerability to attacks.

The administration is considering retaliatory measures against Iran-linked targets, while aiming to avoid further conflict.
