Tensions in the Middle East are once again on the rise as the international community scrambles to avert a military escalation between Iran and its allies, and Israel. The United States has reassured the world that it is working tirelessly, “day and night”, to prevent a regional conflagration.
In an interview with FRANCE 24, Scott Lucas, a professor of US and international politics at the University College of Dublin, shed light on the current situation in the Middle East. With the risk of a potentially catastrophic conflict looming, it is crucial for diplomatic efforts to be ramped up in order to prevent a dangerous escalation in the region.
The stakes are high as tensions continue to simmer between Iran and Israel, with the United States playing a key role in mediating and de-escalating the situation. The outcome of these diplomatic efforts could have far-reaching implications for peace and stability in the Middle East.
As the world watches closely, it is clear that all efforts must be made to prevent a military confrontation that could have devastating consequences for the region and beyond. The work being done by the United States and other stakeholders to avert escalation in the Middle East is of paramount importance in these uncertain times.

Us always tries to de escalate only after their opponent hit.
Serving the Master???
Israel has been assassinated politicians and other diplomatic in the other countries such Iraq , Iran and Lebanon and attacked at different times in the past , thats violation of international law and Independence & sovereignty of that countries where there is suitable by the responses international communities and USA.
so haw could we told to the victim country not to respond every time where Israel continue to do so ?
– Why Israel does't care and ignore international law repeatedly to spread conflict to the entire region .
– why USA do not try to stop Israel violation of law and respect peace and stability in the region .
– why Washington has one response says " we are defending Israel what ever is going on "
if you look all of these issues it seems that USA and others doestwants to solve the problem fairly ,
They helped course it,what a bad joke
Why is west give blanket cheque to ISR and then beg. What this prof is saying – is not NEWS. This Channel is now like a Garbage. USA has serious issues – look at homeless citizens on USA streets.
America is a tool of Israel.
If US is little bit intrested in De escalation… IT MUST IMMEDIATELY STOP ARMING ISRAEL.
Averting escalation by funding Israel.
Biden/Harris say one thing do another – bank on that!
I'm in USA have zero faith in current administration – they're the reason the world is on fire in my opinion. Incompetent, corrupt and dishonest the democrats are NOT fit to lead, negotiate or even be in the picture
JOE BIDEN IS WEAK IRAN SEE THAT WAKE UP
When son makes mistake, the Father come ahead to protect. Israel is an illegal child of USA

Not IF they was they would have put a choker on Israel.. America is nothing but lies to Allies and Enemies.
Hypocrite US
TLV has been looking for this Moment since 2001
Isra is not interested in Negotiations or Diplomacy
There is nothing US is doing to stop the escalation since it was informed about the assassination of HANIYA en gave a green light
