> israel must be losing badly for america not to have greenlit an attack on Iran.
I don’t think thats the only reason why. Israel losing is precisely why they want to attack. They just can’t make the politics work for another war.
I think their concern is: 90% of americans don’t want another war, trump would be politically dead if he starts a mid east conflict, pakistan / russia / china / hezbollah / houthis / etc may band together to whoop america’s ass after an iran attack, also iran proved itself to be a major force with their drone and missile arsenal.
The resulting battle would cause the US to lose dozens of bases to iranian ballistic missiles, they’d never be able to land troops on iranian soil without mass casualties, there’s a potential to just suffer full defeat, and not to mention the risk of starting WW3.
But i see your point, iran being strong is likely half the reason why they haven’t tried it yet.

Iran has Russia and China fully backing them and such a war would only end with the destruction of both israel and america power in the middle east.
