OTTAWA (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden on Friday said the United States is prepared to “act forcefully” to protect Americans, commenting after the U.S. military carried out air strikes against Iran-backed forces in retaliation for an attack that killed an American contractor and wounded five U.S. troops.

“Make no mistake: the United States does not … seek conflict with Iran, but be prepared for us to act forcefully to protect our people,” Biden told reporters during an official visit to Canada.
