In the face of heightened tensions in the Middle East, US President Joe Biden has stated his belief that a full-scale war can be averted. This assurance comes as Israel continues to bombard Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon, responding to an Iranian missile attack.
During a press conference at the White House, President Biden responded to a query regarding his confidence in preventing an all-out war in the region. He asserted, “I don’t believe there is going to be an all-out war. I think we can avoid it.” However, he acknowledged the ongoing complexities and the need for continued efforts, adding, “But there is a lot to do yet, a lot to do yet.”
The situation remains volatile, with Israel’s retaliation against Hezbollah and the ongoing threat posed by Iran’s actions adding to the regional instability. President Biden’s statement offers a glimmer of hope, but it remains to be seen how the current crisis will unfold and what steps will be taken to de-escalate the tensions.
