Presidential National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said in an interview with NBC that Biden will vigorously respond to the threat to the United States.

I will say that the President intends to respond forcefully to attacks on our people. The president is also not seeking a broader war in the Middle East, the adviser noted. Sullivan also noted that he does not plan to delve into the details of what the presidential administration allows and excludes. According to the adviser, this will not be the end of the United States response to the killing of military personnel.

What happened on Friday is the beginning, not the end of our answer, and there will be more steps – some of them noticeable, some perhaps invisible, – said Sullivan
