Agreed. Netanyahu, like Zelensky, needs the US/West to jump in or he is doomed. A limited but significant strike against an Israeli target that would show Tel Aviv its capabilities seems to be in order. However, the tensions are definitely rising.
What or who can Iran and Hizbullah strike that will hurt or demonstrate deterrence without escalating too much? And will they hit a target inside Israel proper and also an Israeli official outside Israel somewhere? And will the revenge come from Iran, Yemen, Lebanon? All three? Pinpricks are better to prolong the conflict without escalating but it seems from the tone of the Iranians at the UN that it’s going to escalate.
Hmmmm:
Dmitry Medvedev on Telegram:
"The knot is tightening in the Middle East. Sorry for the innocent lives lost. They are but hostages of a disgusting state: the USA.
Meanwhile, it’s clear to everyone that a full-scale war is the only way to a shaky peace in the region."

Wise Iran. Why prevent an enemy from defeating himself?
