U.S. officials are worried that Israel's campaign against Hezbollah could escalate into a broader conflict involving Iran, risking U.S. involvement and regional stability.
Despite U.S. attempts at diplomacy, the situation in Lebanon is spiraling out of control, and officials fear that President Biden may leave this crisis for his successor.

Experts highlight the need for a strengthened Lebanese Army supported by the government to prevent Hezbollah from re-emerging near Israel's border, but this remains a challenging aspiration.
