After a month-long absence due to his hospitalization, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has returned to the Pentagon. His return comes amidst the devastating attack on U.S. troops in Jordan, which has left the nation seeking answers and contemplating its response. President Biden has asserted that there will indeed be a response to the attack, though the specifics are yet to be determined.
The attack, which occurred at the Tower 22 military base in Jordan, claimed the lives of three U.S. service members and left dozens injured. U.S. CENTCOM has indicated that the strike originated from Syria. However, the responsible group has not been officially identified by the U.S. authorities.
