The US could de-escalate the situation between Israel and Hezbollah, says American Middle East expert Asher Kaufman – but only if another country plays along.
How fearful is the United States that fighting between… Israel and Hezbollah could escalate into a major war that spans the entire region?
The USA has been trying to avoid such an escalation for months. Joe Biden’s administration has tried to negotiate an end to the war between Israel and Hamas – without success. So Biden has every reason to worry. The more violent this war becomes, the more it spirals out of control, the greater the likelihood that the United States will have to intervene in some form. If Iran decides to openly support Hezbollah, that would be a huge problem for Washington.
