White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan cited the possibility of a new battle front on the Israel-Lebanon border. — Reuters picWASHINGTON, Oct 15 — The United States said today it fears an escalation of the war between Israel and Hamas and the prospect of Iran getting directly involved.

Iran is a long-time backer of the militant group Hamas and of Hezbollah in Lebanon, providing them funding and weapons. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin announced the deployment of the second aircraft carrier yesterday “to deter hostile actions against Israel or any efforts toward widening this war following Hamas’s attack.”

“We don’t want to see another terrorist group like Hezbollah widening this and opening fronts to distract against the fight against Hamas,” Kirby said on the “Fox News Sunday” program.
