In the case of bringing peace between Iran and Israel, it depends, first
and foremost, on what Israel really want from the attack. It said Iran
was racing toward a usable nuclear weapon. US intel says otherwise. So,
one has to wonder what Israel really wants to achieve from the attack.

On the flip side, what cards do Iran have? To the extent that Israel
attacks with a false premise, China could help Iran defends itself.

I do not believe that USA says what it is *really* "afraid of".
"Three years to nukes" makes it still Trump's problem.

Israel attacked Iran's nuclear targets so it is wiling to stop
"the exchange" (cut costs).  Iran has been attacked and it most likely
unwilling to stop "the exchange" *at least* before getting "somehow even".
*Quick* cease fire would be much more in Israel's interest.

Any idiot chief can _start_ a war.
