U.S., Britain attack 36 Iranian-backed Houthi positions

In an interview with NBC News on Sunday morning, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan declined to rule out the possibility of a U.S. strike inside Iran.

Speaking about retaliatory attacks by the United States after three U.S. soldiers were killed in an attack by Iranian-backed militants, Mr Sullivan said three times when asked by the news network host if the Biden administration had ruled out attacking inside Iran, he said he did not plan to discuss options on the table on a television show.

He said that although the president of the United States does not seek to expand the war across the Middle East, he is determined to respond forcefully to attacks against Americans.

Referring to Joe Biden’s “decisive and serious response” to the deadly attack on U.S. forces stationed in Jordan, Sullivan said the response began with Friday night’s strikes (US time) but that was not the end and more attacks were coming.
