Iran-Backed Militia Suspends Attacks on U.S. Forces in Iraq

Kataib Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Iraqi paramilitary group, has announced a suspension of all military operations against American troops following a deadly drone attack in Jordan that killed three U.S. troops and injured over 40 others. The group's decision comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, with the U.S. vowing to respond to the attack. President Biden has emphasized that the U.S. is not seeking a broader war in the region, but the administration is still planning a response. The Pentagon has indicated skepticism about the group's statement, emphasizing that actions will speak louder than words.
