Iran threatened Wednesday to "decisively respond" to any US attack on the Islamic Republic after President Joe Biden's linking of Tehran to the killing of three US troops at a military base in Jordan.

The US has signaled it is preparing for retaliatory strikes in the Mideast in the wake of the Sunday drone attack that also injured at least 40 troops at Tower 22, a secretive base in northeastern Jordan that's been crucial to the American presence in neighboring Syria.

The warnings first came from Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran's ambassador to the UN in New York. "Iran would decisively respond to any attack on the county, its interests and nationals under any pretexts," he said.
