US President Joe Biden reassured that he does not believe there will be an “all-out war” in the Middle East despite escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon. As Israel considers its options for retaliation after facing the largest ever assault from its arch-enemy, Biden emphasized the need for further efforts to prevent a full-blown conflict.
While the US and other allies have called for an immediate ceasefire, Biden stated that discussions were ongoing with Israel regarding potential responses to Iran’s aggression. This includes the possibility of Israel targeting Iran’s oil facilities.
Amidst rising global oil prices and tension in the Middle East, Biden emphasized that nothing imminent would occur. However, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, stated that Israel has various retaliation options and would demonstrate its strength to Tehran soon.
As the conflict intensifies, the G7 nations expressed concern over the situation and called for restraint, underscoring the importance of de-escalation to prevent further violence in the region.
Despite the ongoing turmoil, efforts towards peace and stability are crucial to prevent further loss of life and destruction in the region.
