JAKARTA - Iranian authorities say the Middle East region does not need a new war, after three US troops died as a result of a drone strike in Jordan, saying Tehran was not linked to this.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Miki said in a statement on Monday that "regional resistance groups" did not receive orders from Iran.
"We believe this area does not require more tensions or new wars," he said.
Three US troops were killed and 34 others as a result of drone attacks on US military posts in Jordan close to the Syrian border.
US President Joe Biden in his statement said the attack was carried out by radical militant groups operating in Iran-backed Syria and Iraq.
"While we are still gathering facts about this attack, we know that the attack was carried out by Iran-backed radical militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq," President Biden said.

The drone strike marks the first time US troops have been killed by enemy fire in the Middle East since the Hamas-Israeli conflict broke out in Gaza last October.
"We believe the war in Gaza is not a solution, and a ceasefire could soon be the basis for the return of peace in the region," said Mikili.
