US faces mounting challenges in Mideast as Iran tensions escalate.
TL;DR Summary
President Joe Biden warned Iran that the US would "act forcefully" to protect Americans after the US military carried out air strikes against Iran-backed forces in retaliation for an attack in Syria. The violence could further aggravate already strained relations between Washington and Tehran, as attempts to revive a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and major powers stalled. The US strikes were a response to a drone attack earlier on Thursday on a base near Hasakah in northeast Syria operated by a US-led coalition battling the remnants of Islamic State.
