The US Department of Defense, also known as the Pentagon, has reiterated its stance against actions that could escalate tensions in the Middle East.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Pentagon emphasized that "Israel" would decide whether to launch a ground operation in Lebanon but urged caution to avoid further escalation.

The Pentagon also expressed hope for a diplomatic resolution to prevent a full-scale war in the region, stating that there is still time and opportunity for diplomacy to succeed.

Biden's Warning
US President Joe Biden also issued a warning on Wednesday about the risk of a "full-scale war" in the Middle East. He acknowledged the potential for such an aggression but expressed optimism about reaching an agreement that could reshape the region.

"A full-scale war is possible, but I believe there’s still a chance for an agreement that could fundamentally change the entire region," Biden said.

He added that if a ceasefire is reached in Lebanon, it could allow the US to shift focus to the West Bank. "We also need to address Gaza, but I’m doing everything I can with my team to achieve this goal," Biden concluded.
