Unlike the Western nations, Iran has been working on de-escalating the conflict. However, Israel's actions against Gaza must stop or the war could spill across borders. The responsibility and far-reaching consequences of Hezbollah and other actors joining the battle to protect the Palestinians directly fall on the US and Israel.
Tehran, which supports both Hamas and Hezbollah, shouldn't attempt to join the Israel-Hamas war or exploit the situation in Gaza, as any further escalation in the Middle East would be catastrophic. An all-out diplomatic push must be made to keep Iran on the sidelines.
