Some of them have suggested direct attacks on Iran.
There are mixed feelings in the US about recent military actions in the Middle East. There are conflicting voices within the Biden administration and the Republican Party on how the US should have handled the killing of three American service members in Jordan late last month by the Islamic Resistance.
The US carried out strikes on at least 85 targets in Iraq and Syria used by Iran-backed militias on Friday night.
Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, today begins another tour of the Middle East and he is talking about de-escalation. Despite this, the message from security adviser Jake Sullivan has been that the attacks are not over.
According to "SkyNews" expert John Sparks, Sullivan is sounding tough, sending a message to the militias that if they continue to attack American bases and facilities, the Americans will retaliate and they will hit hard.
The Americans do not want to escalate the situation, the expert adds, but says that the government should be seen as if it is dealing with it effectively.
On the other hand, critics in the Republican Party think that Biden should do more. They say Iran is funding these militias and should be targeted instead of individual groups.
" Some of them have suggested direct attacks on Iran — I don't think that's a path that the Biden administration wants to go down for fear of possible consequences in terms of direct retaliation. I think we're really standing at the beginning of that which could be a head-to-head conflict, a head-to-head war ," said the British expert./ SkyNews
