I don’t know if Iran should be directly attacked or not. But you do make a point worth considering. Since 1945 the United States has been rushing into conflicts without thinking about how things could eventually play out. Not good.
Israel might have a totally different view of the situation. I get that.
I think the best way to handle Iran is to undermine it from within. When we war gamed attacking Iran things didn’t turn out well for us or Israel. Yes we can bomb their oil and gas infrastructure but then Iran uses its proxy Hezbollah to take out Israel’s gas fields. They’ve gamed various scenarios and decided a direct attack on Iran was too risky for many reasons.
