I don’t buy that the US is down with this. I think they’re horribly naive in the face of what Netanyahu has shown himself to be time and time over, but I think there are many people in the State Dept who would be up in arms if they thought this was the US game plan, and we’d have heard about that by now.
Certainly I think Netanyahu is considering what you’re positing and that a lot of western countries are telling him not to. I guess we’ll see how much of a spine they really have if he goes through with it.

BTW... this is why the US carrier fleet are there, etc... if the pressure is such that it forces the surrounding Islamic countries to also respond militarily to try and prevent Israel from doing this, then Israel needs the help of the US to subdue the urge of other countries and reasonable parties to get involved in a way that isn't aligned to the goals of Israel's leadership.
