54. Meh, Israel has to stop Iran from getting nuclear bombs, it's an existential threat

They haven't really tried before because those facilities were thought to be beyond Israel's capabilities to get to them. Underground, etc. And of course the US has refused in the past to provide them with bunker buster bombs so that Israel wouldn't feel capable of doing much.
For the US it's about protecting the supply of oil from the region because Iran is capable of shutting oil shipping transit in the Gulf and afraid of how much terrorism Iran could unleash on the west if Iran was attacked in a really big way.
At this point Israel has decided to go harder at Iran. Something has to be done at some point. They are already reaping great hate about Gaza, so they don't feel like it would get any worse with this action.
