According to U.S. officials, the likelihood of the conflict expanding is growing as a result of the clashes in Iraq, Lebanon and Iran that have occurred over the past few days. This, according to the officials, has convinced representatives of the US administration that the conflict has "officially spread well beyond the borders" of the Gaza Strip, i.e. "in a development that the US has been trying to avoid for months.

The US military is developing a plan to retaliate against Yemeni Houthi rebels who have repeatedly attacked merchant ships in the Red Sea.
