As fears of a wider Middle East conflict grow, the United States has deployed additional troops to Cyprus and the Middle East. President Biden discussed the escalating violence between Israel and Hezbollah, mentioning that all-out war remains a possibility but not an inevitability. Critics argue that Biden's administration has inadvertently empowered Israel's aggressive military actions against Lebanon. With U.S. warplanes, ships, and troops on standby, the Pentagon is preparing for a possible expansion of the conflict. The U.S. Embassy in Lebanon has urged Americans in the region to evacuate on any available flights. As violence escalates, Biden is under pressure to navigate a complex and rapidly changing situation while balancing U.S. commitments to Israel's security.
