—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: The United States Navy has deployed 5 ships off the coast of Israel to help intercept Iranian ballistic missiles

This is alongside the many systems Israel already uses to defend itself, including THAAD, David Sling, Arrow-1 and Arrow-2, Patriot, Iron Beam and Iron Dome, as well as Sa'ar-6 vessels and fighter jets.

Iran is now effectively up against more than 10 seperate layers of Israeli missile defenses.

At what point does this count as aiding Israel and Iran is allowed to bomb the ships?

It's direct involvement. The US will lie like they did in Ukraine, but it's direct involvement.

Exactly this. All that matter from the first help is that Iran be willing to strike them.
