I know people don't like to hear this but Iran has been funding terrorism forever now. Hezbolah, Houtis, Hamas - are all funded by Iran. They also been clearly working on nuclear weapons so you don't need to do complex math to see why Iran is a threat to Israel. If Iran ever gets nukes 100% they'd be aiming them at Israel or cover conventional attacks behind nuclear weapons.
As for US, Israel literally exists because it gives US an in to middle east. It's only real US ally that aligns with west's freedoms in the region and is capable of executing military and security operations in the region so obviously is a very important subject.
So in this example Israel is acting as a vassal state to the United States essentially?
It's all the same genocidal colonizer empire. They've been attacking Iran and the middle east more generally for decades if not centuries.
Not entirely. Their leaders certainly don't want to continue under the threat of eventual annihilation by Iran. They're not exactly doing this under duress.
In reality Iran has no nukes and hasn't been trying to get nukes.
The zio regime has terrorist nukes and uses them to threaten the planet with a nuclear holocaust.

Sure if you have very limited understanding of geopolitics. Otherwise its much more complex than that but clearly it's too difficult to understand for some people here cause nuance is scary.
What's the nuance?
US foreign policy is terrorism, we don't give a shit about freedom and never did
Brainwashed lib who has no clue who the actual "terrorists" are is here promoting genocide and terrorism? Zero surprise.
