"Biden's Efforts to Deter Iran and Hezbollah Prompt US Military Buildup in Israel-Gaza"

The Biden administration is concerned that Israel's enemies, particularly Iran and Hezbollah, may try to expand the conflict with Hamas, potentially drawing the United States into the conflict. To deter escalation, the US has deployed additional military assets to the region and sent diplomatic messages to Iran through intermediaries. Clashes have intensified along Israel's northern border with Lebanon, with Hezbollah firing missiles into Israel and Israel responding with artillery fire and airstrikes. Experts warn that Hezbollah poses a greater threat to Israel than Hamas due to its arsenal of precision-guided missiles and experienced fighters. The US has sent two aircraft carriers and additional warplanes to the region, while also considering the option of using naval and air units to support Israel if Hezbollah launches a major assault.
