What level of US involvement in the Israel Iran conflict are you okay with?



1. Full-Scale Military Involvement (Declaration of War and Invasion): The U.S. declares war on Iran, deploys ground troops for a full invasion, and directly engages in combat operations targeting Iran's nuclear, military, and government infrastructure. This could involve coordinated strikes with Israel, including the use of U.S. B-2 or B-21 bombers to target fortified nuclear sites like Fordow and Natanz.

2. Direct but Limited Military Strikes: The U.S. conducts targeted airstrikes on Iranian nuclear or military targets, potentially using precision munitions like the GBU-57A Massive Ordnance Penetrator to destroy underground facilities. This could occur if Israel's initial strikes succeed and the U.S. opts to escalate to prevent Iran from retaliating or advancing its nuclear program.

3. Indirect Military Support (Intelligence and Logistics): The U.S. provides intelligence sharing, aerial refueling, or other logistical support to enhance Israel's military operations without directly engaging in combat. This could include real-time data on Iranian targets or support for Israeli airstrikes.

4. Defensive Military Support: The U.S. focuses on defending Israel against Iranian retaliation, such as intercepting ballistic missiles or drones, as it did in April and October 2024. This could involve deploying U.S. missile defense systems or naval assets in the region to counter Iranian attacks.


5. Diplomatic and Economic Pressure: The U.S. avoids military involvement but ramps up sanctions, diplomatic censure, or pressure through international bodies like the IAEA to isolate Iran. This could include supporting Israel diplomatically while continuing nuclear talks to de-escalate.

6. Minimal Action (Signaling Military Readiness): The U.S. signals military readiness by repositioning assets (e.g., aircraft carriers or bombers) or issuing warnings to Iran against targeting U.S. interests, without engaging in active support for Israel’s operations.
