U.S. officials have so far maintained that Iranian retaliation must not target American forces, arguing that the current Israeli operation does not justify attacks on U.S. interests.

This, Israel is desperate to change. Absolutely psychotic nation hellbent on starting WWIII.

Also, the current US president at least has been fine with US forces directly blowing up Iranians and Iranian installations. (Also, for the matter, with Iranians blowing up Americans.) It's only within the brute logic of geopolitics that they can say with a straight face that Iran "must not" attack Americans.

Every administration has been eyeballing Iran for the last forty years, at least. Going to war with them is the golden goose.

Every politician until a general quietly informs them that Iran can easily sink a carrier.
