President Joe Biden says he has decided how the US will respond to a drone strike that killed three American troops in Jordan at the weekend.

Mr Biden did not elaborate on his remarks at the White House, but added: “I don’t think we need a wider war in the Middle East.”

An Iran-backed militia group has claimed responsibility for the attack at a US military base.

Dozens more were injured in Sunday’s strike near the Syrian border.
