Sad as it is, it's looked like we were going to get involved since the Gaza thing started. At least to me it seemed like cooler heads would not prevail. God bless our service members headed there.

they can talk a big game. They have a "yuge" troop count but useless they can't deploy them. Their navy?, like the maga navy that invaded a lake it won't end well. They can do what sudan and harrass shipping with whatever they can get in the sky but it will only bring down more pain for Iranians. I'm not with fascist controlled genocidal Israel but I care less about a country that sucks putins dong, like tRump. At this point I have washed my hands of Israel, Iran and the US but will get the popcorn and wine ready.
