Iran-backed militia, Kataib Hezbollah, suspends attacks against the US after a drone strike in Jordan. The group takes this step "to prevent embarrassment of the Iraqi government." The US responds, emphasizing that "actions speak louder than words." President Biden decides on a response while Iran warns of retaliation against any attack on its "interests." The militia denies involvement in the attack, where three US soldiers were killed. Talks of potential armed response and security measures at the targeted base, Tower 22, are underway. The situation adds complexity to US-Iran tensions with implications for broader regional dynamics.
