The US has decided on their course of action when it comes to retaliating to the drone strike that killed and injured over forty US troops.
Their response is likely to come in the next couple of days, officials saying that they will respond at a time of their choosing.
US Correspondent Mitch McCann told Mike Hosking that while they have a couple of options, it’s likely that they will target the militia directly as opposed to launching a strike against Iran and potentially widening the war.
He said that the militia responsible announced this morning that they will be suspending their operations, though it may be too late to avoid repercussions from the US.
