President Joe Biden has promised a strong response to Sunday's deadly attack on a US military base in Jordan.
But the challenge for the US is to find the right balance between deterrence and escalation.
The US will already have a number of "on-the-shelf" military options to choose from, drawn up by the US Department of Defense with intelligence input from the CIA and the National Security Agency.
White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said the US might take a "tiered approach" in its response.
Attacks by Iran-backed militias pre-date the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza - but they have dramatically increased since 7 October.
