The White House has tried to tread carefully to contain tensions between Israel and both Hamas and Hezbollah, who are backed by Iran.
But the strikes which killed Nasrallah happened hours after Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to the United Nations – raising questions about the effectiveness of diplomacy and what the international community can do to avoid escalation.
