The recent Israeli killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut has raised concerns about the potential for a full-scale war in the Middle East. The US President Joe Biden's administration has been working to prevent such a scenario, according to current and former US officials.
Experts and officials are warning that the situation could quickly escalate. Hezbollah is expected to retaliate, with Iran likely playing a role in the conflict. The US military has noted Iran's growing concern over the damage inflicted on Hezbollah by Israel.
