Biden: 'I don't think we need a wider war in the Middle East'
US President Joe Biden, indirectly accused Iran of attacking a US base in the form of arms shipments.

"I don't think we need a wider war in the Middle East. That's not what I am looking for," he said.

The President said the US has decided how to respond to the attack on the US base on the Syrian-Jordanian border.

Asked if Iran was responsible, Biden added: "I do hold... them responsible in the sense that they're supplying the weapons" to those who carried out the attacks.
