Tehran鈥檚 Middle East strategy after a lethal attack on US troops. The risk of military escalation in an already volatile region is growing. President Biden has promised to respond after what he called 鈥淚ran-backed militants鈥� killed three American soldiers and injured dozens at a base in Jordan. Iran denies it.
