 Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman: US likely unable to assist Israel in war with Hezbollah
Story by JERUSALEM POST STAFF • 5d •


Joint Chiefs of Staff head Charles Q. Brown warned on Monday that the US may not be able to help defend Israel against an all-out war with Hezbollah in the same way that it stepped in during the Iran drone attack in April.

Brown, a US Air Force general, also said that Iran “would be more inclined to support Hezbollah."
 
While the Islamic Republic supports Hamas, General Brown said that Tehran would stand more firmly behind Hezbollah, “particularly if they felt that Hezbollah was being significantly threatened.”

Brown also said that any Israeli military offensive into Lebanon could risk triggering a broader war, putting US forces in danger.

Risk of escalation

Note how slight but significantly different the wordings of the headlines are.  The AF Gen says the US WILL NOT assist Israel while Gen. Brown says UNLIKELY TO BE ABLE to assist.

Then there is this headline:

So, what is the real story?
