President Joe Biden said Friday that the United States doesn’t seek conflict with Iran but is prepared to act forcefully to protect American lives after he authorized a strike targeting Iranian-affiliated assets in Syria in retaliation for an Iranian drone attack.

During a press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Ottawa, Biden offered condolences to the family of the American contractor killed in an Iranian drone attack on a coalition base in Syria on March 23.
