Don't be naïve, the US knows it, but simply they don't care, as it doesn't fit their narrative

The US government knows it, the US citizens are almost wholly ignorant of it.

*Some of the US government. Deb who does accounting for NIST doesn't know it (of course); many top officials refuse to know it. Experts who deal with the Middle East know it, and at least some of them are tearing out their hair over it.

Overall I guess you could say they know it, but let's not pretend this is a well-thought-out approach they're executing. It's a lobby-fueled clusterfuck, and it's probably going to blow up in their face.
