Washington has carried out attacks against pro-Iranian groups in Syria and Iraq.
The United States claims to have attacked at least 85 targets in Iraq and Syria, using long-range bombers sent directly from the United States.
They were carried out in response to a drone attack on a military base in Jordan last weekend, which killed three American soldiers.
Iran-backed armed groups are targeting the United States over its support for Israel’s war on Gaza.
President Joe Biden said the U.S. attacks are just the beginning of its retaliation.
So how will Iran react? And could this lead to wider regional conflict?
