According to a United Nations analysis, the US is expected to enter the war if Iran jumps into the war.
Biden is, of course, sending out confusing messages.
But the US deployed a carrier fleet to the middle east and has moved more ships into the region.
We already have 40,000-ish troops in the region.
Right now Israel has Hamas nearly destroyed in Gaza, the problem there is the citizens overwhelmingly support Hamas. From the tiny children to the women to the elderly. Hamas has brainwashed all of them for at least an entire generation. So support for Hamas, while it is down from its high point, is still high.
Right now Israel has Hezbollah on its heels. Its command and control are crippled. Literally 70+% of their top commanders have been killed. Many of their most senior commanders are dead. The rank and file are essentially leaderless. The top leader of Hezbollah is probably hiding in the basement of an Iranian or other 'friendly' nation embassy and issues proclamations but remains unseen and in hiding.

US Military Will Intervene On Behalf Of Israel If Iran Enters Lebanon Fray, UN Analyst Warns
Update(1128ET): Once again President Biden has issued contradictory messaging on the current Middle East crisis. With Israel in its second day of greatly ramped-up airstrikes on Lebanon, amid a new declared offensive, Biden asserted what he framed as Israel's right to defend itself. Israel will surely take this as effectively a greenlight from the US administration.
"Any country, any country, would have the right responsibility to ensure that such an attack could never happen again," Biden said while referencing the Oct.7 attack. But then he quickly highlighted that in Gaza, "Innocent civilians" are also "going through hell." He said the "Thousands and thousands killed, including aid workers. Too many families dislocated, crowded in a tent, facing a dire situation." He added: "They didn’t ask for this war.”
And that's when he said he is "determined to prevent a wider war that engulfs the entire region" - but that's looking a little too late at this point, considering the fast-moving Lebanon events.
Israel's military has meanwhile said that the Tuesday airstrike on a building in southern Beirut killed Hezbollah’s rocket and missile division Ibrahim Qubaisi. Lebanese officials have so far said that six were killed and 15 were wounded in the strike, among some 560 total killed in the last day-and-a-half. Hezbollah has yet to confirm Qubaisi's death.
"Over the years and during the war, he was responsible for the launches at the Israeli home front. Qubaisi was a central source of of knowledge in the field of missiles, and was close to the senior military leadership of Hezbollah," the IDF said of the allegedly deceased target.
There are meanwhile growing fears that if Iran enters the conflict directly in Lebanon, the United States could then jump in and it would be escalation chaos to regional conflagration:
Raymond Murphy, a professor at the University of Galway’s Irish Centre for Human Rights, says the situation in Lebanon is “extremely dangerous” and that Israel has attacked to not only defeat Hezbollah but provoke it to respond with increasing force.“And as a consequence, possibly to bring Iran into the conflict, as well as the Houthis in Yemen, which would force the hand of the United States,”the former UN peacekeeper told Al Jazeera from Galway, Ireland.
"So if the situation escalates and Hezbollah falls for what is essentially a trap that’s being set by the Israelis and responds very forcefully… then the United States will also step in in defense of Israel," Murphy continued. This after yesterday the Pentagon announced it has deployed more troops to the region, but without disclosing their precise mission or deployment base.
Regional correspondents by late afternoon Tuesday (local time) say that Israeli strike on southern Beirut suburbs are becoming more frequent.

On Tuesday White House national security spokesman John Kirby urged that all Americans should leave Lebanon immediately while there are still flights. Two days of heavy Israeli airstrikes targeting especially Hezbollah strongholds of the south have killed at least 558 people and left 1,835 injured, according to the latest Lebanese Healthy Ministry figures. The situation is growing more urgent as the war comes to Beirut.
"We want to make sure that there are still commercial options available for Americans to leave, and they should be leaving now while those options are available," Kirby told ABC News. The US Embassy in Beirut has since October a year ago issued several alerts and warnings telling Americans to leave the country. . . .
