Biden says he's decided on fatal drone strike response, US doesn't need 'wider' Middle East war

President Joe Biden said Tuesday that he has made a decision on how to respond to the drone attack that killed three U.S. soldiers in Jordan this past weekend but that the U.S. doesn't need to be a "wider" war in the Middle East. 

Biden made the comment in response to reporters yelling questions as he departed the White House by helicopter for campaign-fundraising trip to Florida, according to news reports.

Officials announced Sunday that an overnight drone attack at a military installation near Jordan's border with Syria killed the service members and injured at least two dozen.

Biden has blamed Iran-backed militants for the lethal strike, though whether Iran was directly involved remains unclear. 

The three who died were Specialist Breonna Moffett, 23; Sgt. William Rivers, 46; and Specialist Kennedy Sanders, 24.
