I’m not sure Iran would have launched those missiles if they 100% knew we had their back. As you said and I agree with you on, Iran launched those missiles for a political theater show of strength because they knew they could get away with it.
You don't think the Untied States with its mutual defense agreements and Israel's NATO ally status doesn't give the Untied States ample reason to caution it's ally against beginning a ground war with Lebanon, and all out hostilities with Iran? Israel hasn't even resolved the internal conflict with Hamas and it's stretching it's tiny military in two new directions.
