    Yeah but no one in the middle east has the power to give Israel an existential threat.

    Iran doesn’t want an offensive or escalation because it would be incredibly in favor of Israel who has the latest and greatest in warfare tech and the backing of the USA.

    Biden is probably more worried that Israel is going to use Iran’s attack as justification for ramping up his offensive in Gaza, which will hurt his reputation even further.

      Even before considering that, Iran does not border Israel and has several semi-hostile nations between it and Israel. Logistically, a full attack is just not possible for them.
