We’ll see a US response in the next 24 hours – former UK ambassador
The attack on US troops is a “very serious” incident and President Biden will want to respond in a “military fashion”, according to Sir Mark Lyall Grant, a former UK ambassador to the UN.
He says he expects to see a very strong response against some of the “Iranian-backed or affiliated” militias based in Syria and Iraq in the next 24 hours.
But Grant, who is also an ex-national security adviser, says he does not think the US will launch an attack “directly on Iranian soil” and he does not think the Iranians are seeking further escalation either.
