President Biden has spoken to the families of the three service members killed in Sunday's drone attack in Jordan.

As NPR's Tamara Keith reports, Biden says he holds Iran responsible for the attack.

White House National Security spokesman John Kirby says President Biden spoke

separately with each of the families, sharing condolences and honoring the service of

their loved ones.

When fallen service members are brought back to the US,

they come to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware,

where they're met by family and top military officials

at Dover on Friday, all of them supported his presence there.

Biden last attended a dignified transfer in 2021 for service members killed in Kabul.
