BBC News:

The White House has blamed an Iran-backed militia for a deadly drone strike on an American base in Jordan, as the US considers how to hit back.

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said US intelligence believed the Islamic Resistance in Iraq was responsible for Sunday’s attack.

President Joe Biden has said without elaborating that he has already decided what the US response will be.

The strike killed three US soldiers and injured at least 40 other US troops.

The “attribution that our intelligence community is comfortable with is that this was done by the umbrella group”, said Mr Kirby in a daily press briefing on Wednesday.
