PNN – The American newspaper New York Times reported that the national security officials of the United States of America are concerned about the miscalculation between Iran and the United States and the widening of the war between Israel and Hamas in the region.
According to Pakistan News Network, the American newspaper New York Times wrote in a report on Wednesday evening local time: “American national security officials are worried that a miscalculation between Iran and the United States will lead to a wider regional conflict.”
According to this report, the confrontation between American forces and “militia supported by Iran and the conflict between Israeli forces and groups supported by Iran” has caused this concern.
This American media quoted an unnamed American government official as saying: The Biden administration wants Israel to refrain from conflict on its northern borders.
The New York Times added: “Since the October 7 attacks, intelligence officials have warned Biden about the risk of a wider war with Iran. American intelligence agencies have assessed that Iran wants to avoid a wider conflict.
The American news website Axios also reported on Wednesday local time, quoting two American officials: The Biden administration is deeply concerned that Israel’s operations in the southern Gaza Strip, home to two million Palestinians, will result in more civilian casualties and deepen the humanitarian crisis in the region.

The American media quoted unnamed American officials as saying: “Biden told Netanyahu that the method of Israeli operations in the north of Gaza cannot be repeated in the south of this area.”
Axios continued: “Two American and Israeli officials said that Netanyahu told Biden that the operation in the south is necessary to achieve Israel’s goal of destroying Hamas, and that the Israeli people will not accept the cessation of military operations now.”
According to this report, Netanyahu has agreed to Biden’s request for a discussion between the US and Israel about any operation in southern Gaza before any attack.
Linda Thomas Greenfield, the United States ambassador to the United Nations, told reporters on Wednesday local time: We hope that the cessation of hostilities in Gaza will be extended.
The senior diplomat of the administration, Joe Biden, added that the United States supports the extension of the Gaza ceasefire for the release of prisoners
“We will continue our efforts until all the hostages of Hamas and other groups are released,” Greenfield stated.
The American ambassador added: “All this is in the hands of Hamas. The Israelis have said they will extend the breaks by one day if they continue to release 10 hostages a day. So it’s really in their hands [Hamas]. “I think there is capacity for that and we are actively working to extend the agreement.”
The Biden administration has faced widespread public pressure to pressure Israel into agreeing to a long-term ceasefire in Gaza. Washington has not called for a ceasefire so far and has said that the end of the war will benefit Hamas.
