US Concerns Over Potential Middle East Conflict Escalation

The White House voiced concerns over a potential broader Middle East conflict after Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh's assassination in Iran. Despite rising tensions, the U.S. is working to prevent an all-out war and continues to support a viable ceasefire process in Gaza. U.S. State Department warned citizens against traveling to Lebanon amidst increasing regional tensions.
The White House expressed concerns on Wednesday about a potential broader conflict in the Middle East following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran.

Despite the tensions, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby stated that Washington does not see an all-out war as imminent but is actively working to prevent it.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government has responded forcefully to attacks after claiming responsibility for the killing of Hezbollah's senior military commander in Beirut.

Amid rising tensions, U.S. officials remain cautiously optimistic about a ceasefire process in Gaza.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other U.S. officials have engaged in diplomatic talks to prevent further escalation, emphasizing the importance of a ceasefire agreement.

The U.S. State Department also warned against travel to Lebanon due to the increasing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
