The U.S. said Hezbollah leaders armed and trained militias that carried out attacks on American forces during the war in Iraq. <\/p>\n<p>The White House sees the death of Nasrallah as a huge blow to the group. At the same time, the administration has sought to tread carefully as it has tried to contain Israel \u2018s war with Hamas, which, like Hezbollah, is backed by Iran, from exploding into an all-out regional conflict.<\/p>\n<p>The White House and Pentagon were quick on Friday, shortly after the strike, to say publicly that Israel offered it no forewarning of the operation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Biden and I do not want to see conflict in the Middle East escalate into a broader regional war,\u201d Vice President Kamala Harris said in a statement Saturday that echoed Biden\u2019s description of a \u201cmeasure of justice.\u201d She added, \u201cDiplomacy remains the best path forward to protect civilians and achieve lasting stability in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The confirmation of Nasrallah\u2019s death comes during a week that began with Biden\u2019s top national security aides working on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly to build support for a 21-day Israel-Hezbollah cease-fire that they hoped might also breathe new life into stalled efforts to secure a truce in Gaza. <\/p>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/israel-palestinians-lebanon-united-nations-12e02fd82f35a8438aa907ca6762bac0\">Netanyahu delivered a defiant speech<\/a><\/span> Friday to the United Nations, vowing to keep up operations against Hezbollah until tens of thousands of Israeli citizens displaced by rocket attacks can return home. Shortly after, Israel carried out the strike killing Nasrallah.<\/p>\n<p>Biden reiterated on Saturday that he wants to see cease-fires both in Gaza and between Israel and Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is time for these deals to close, for the threats to Israel to be removed, and for the broader Middle East region to gain greater stability,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian accused the United States of supporting the killing that took out Nasrallah and dozens of others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe world community will not forget that the order of the terrorist strike was issued from New York and the Americans cannot absolve themselves from complicity with the Zionists,\u201d Pezeshkian was quoted as saying in a statement read on Iranian state television.<\/p>\n<p>The State Department on Saturday ordered the departure of the families of U.S. diplomats who are not employed by the embassy in Beirut and authorized the departure of those who are, as well as nonessential employees because of \u201cthe volatile and unpredictable security situation\u201d in Lebanon\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n<p>The State Department has previously advised American citizens to consider leaving Lebanon and reiterated its warning against all travel to the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDue to the increased volatility following airstrikes within Beirut and the volatile and unpredictable security situation throughout Lebanon, the U.S. Embassy urges U.S. citizens to depart Lebanon while commercial options still remain available,\u201d the department said in a statement Saturday. <\/p>\n<p>The State Department routinely orders or authorizes the departure of nonessential embassy staffers and the families of diplomats when security conditions deteriorate in the country where they are posted.<\/p>\n<p>An ordered departure is not technically an evacuation but does require those affected to leave. An authorized departure allows those affected to leave the country voluntarily at government expense.<\/p>\n<p>Biden, who was spending the weekend at his vacation home in Delaware, and Harris, who was campaigning in California, held a call with national security aides on Saturday to discuss the situation in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>The president on Friday directed the Pentagon to assess and adjust as necessary the U.S. force posture in the region to enhance deterrence, ensure force protection and support the full range of U.S. objectives. <\/p>\n<p>He called for the assessment after the Pentagon earlier in the week announced it was sending an unspecified number of <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/israel-lebanon-violence-war-hezbollah-63a15fa390a94acf46ef886cc5fb88db\">additional U.S. troops to the region<\/a><\/span> because of rising tensions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '870613919693099',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-hezbollah-nasrallah-israel-lebanon-024756fb7c2b7bdda93454db97659a19\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REHOBOTH BEACH, Del.
