Washington has carried out attacks against pro-Iran groups in Syria and Iraq.
The United States says it has struck at least 85 targets in Iraq and Syria, using long-range bombers brought directly from the United States.
They were carried out in response to a drone attack on a military base in Jordan last weekend, which killed three US soldiers.
Armed groups backed by Iran are targeting the United States for its support of Israel's war in Gaza.
President Joe Biden says the US strikes are just the beginning of its retaliation.
So how will Iran react? And could this lead to a broader regional conflict?
