US won’t ‘respond in blind rage and kill innocent citizens’ after drone strike

Bondi Partners Senior Advisor Peter McGauran says the United States “will retaliate” after the drone strike in Jordan, but they won’t “respond in blind rage and kill innocent citizens”. The United States has approved plans for a series of strikes in Syria and Iraq in response to the drone attack on a US military base in Jordan. Strikes will target Iranian personnel and facilities in the countries. “Counterintuitively, it has de-escalated for the moment,” Mr McGauran told Sky News Australia. “Iran knows it’s pushed America to a breaking point with the loss of three troops. “They seem to have stood down their surrogates, but the Americans will retaliate – no question. “Americans have a moral rectitude; others in the Middle East don’t have so. “They will be trying to locate who exactly gave the order … They don’t respond in blind rage and kill innocent citizens; they are going to find out who’s responsible.”
