Two things jump out from reading the updates this morning:
1) I'm not so sure that "drag us into a war in the ME" is the automatic result of every scenario where US could plausably engage. I can see a very limited engagement that deploys and then backs off, whehter it's us missle striking the Houthis or acting as Israel's last mile to finish off the nuclear program by firing off some GBU-57 bunker busters for the first time in history and then letting Israel and the ME deal with the fall out of a decapitated Iran.
2) Israel is showing us how non-nuke adversaries and yappers are being shown to be paper tigers. On one hand, if you are an underdeveloped sovereign nation you see the absolute value in getting a nuke for yourself. On the other hand, all our enemies (save China) are being exposed militarily. In fact, Russia had signed a much ballyhooed security pact with Iran 6 months ago that they are conveniently trying to forget about in light of their workload and instead are hilariously offering to be the peace-talking mediators. Yea, that's what they meant by security pact haha
