It is possible that the U.S. could become involved if Iran or Hezbollah join forces with Hamas on the conflict against Israel. The U.S. has traditionally been involved in the peace process in the Middle East and could look to Beirut and Tehran as potential flashpoints if either of them become involved in the conflict as well. In addition, the U.S. could pressure both sides, especially Tehran, to end involvement in the conflict, or could take on a more direct role in actively brokering a ceasefire or peace agreement between the two sides.
