US prepares additional action in Middle East following retaliatory airstrikes in Iraq and Syria.

The United States is preparing further action in the Middle East following recent retaliatory airstrikes against 85 targets in Iraq and Syria. The strikes, designed to retaliate for the killing of three American soldiers, have been described by White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan as "the beginning, not the end of our response". Sullivan emphasised that there will be "more steps", some seen and some possibly unseen, to ensure a "very clear message" is sent that when American forces are attacked, a forceful response will follow.
