@Middle_East_Spectator

The US is desperately trying to convince Iran not to strike, or to at least keep it limited. They're worried that the Israeli response won't be restrained; this is exactly what Netanyahu has been looking for.

At the same time, Putin wants to urgently speak to Netanyahu later today. He will probably try to convince Israel not to respond. If Israel responds, Iran will too, and things will escalate.

The US is REALLY not happy right now. They don't want an Iranian-Israeli conflict, even if limited, especially not before the elections.
