The United States called for Hezbollah not to "take advantage" of the Israel-Hamas war after the Lebanese militants' leader said "all options" were open.
"We and our partners have been clear: Hezbollah and other actors - state or non-state - should not try to take advantage of the ongoing conflict," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told journalists.
"The United States does not seek escalation or widening of the conflict that Hamas brought onto Israel.
"This has the potential of becoming a bloodier war between Israel and Lebanon than in 2006. The United States does not want to see this conflict expand into Lebanon.
"The likely devastation for Lebanon and its people would be unimaginable and is avoidable," she noted.
