“What we are expecting, in keeping with what [Lloyd] Austin himself said, what the White House has said in terms of vowing that there will be a response for this fatal attack that killed three U.S. service members in Jordan, is that there will be some sort of attack that is focused on either Iranian-backed militia or Iranian military …. But we don’t really expect those to be inside of Iran. We expect them to be outside of Iran, in Iraq and Syria where there’s been this stream of more than 160 attacks on U.S. personnel in recent months. Or potentially somewhere else in the region.” - Missy Ryan
