The Biden administration vowed more strikes against Iran’s forces and its proxies in the Middle East after three straight days of punishing attacks, even as senior officials insisted the US won’t be pulled into a prolonged regional conflict.
“We will respond forcefully, and we will respond in a sustained way,” White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on CBS’s Face the Nation. Even so, he said, President Joe Biden doesn’t see the US action in the last three days as “some open-ended military campaign.”
