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.

No one, including Iran, takes this administration seriously. They are a laughing stock to anyone outside North America and Europe, the media just won’t show it. Biden and his allies are isolating the west from the majority of the world.
A hopeless President with big mouth but no brain. Zero charisma.
