TL;DR Summary

Iraq's Kataib Hezbollah, a pro-Iranian militia, has announced a suspension of attacks against US forces following a drone strike in Jordan that killed 3 US troops. The group stated that the suspension is to avoid embarrassment for the Iraqi government and that they will continue to defend their people in Gaza through other means. The US has blamed "radical Iran-backed militant groups" for the attack and has decided to retaliate, with the Pentagon emphasizing that actions speak louder than words and that there will be consequences. The US and Iraq have also begun formal talks aimed at winding down the US troop presence in the country, while Kataib Hezbollah is pushing for a full withdrawal of US and coalition forces from Iraq.
