While I agree that Israel will "settle down" when America tugs the leash, in this case the US doesn't really want it to. It's important to consider also that many other nations are against a nuclear Iran. I for one am, as is my nation. Germany, France, Australia, New Zealand, Britain.
The shitty part is that Team Iran is pretty good too, given they share the bench with Russia and China.
You know that is a very good point. I never thought about using Israel as a coverup to drag the US into another war. It will be interesting to see if it pans out that way.

Also thank you for pointing out that this is not just a US issue. Many nations around the globe do not want Iran to have Nuclear technology for many reasons which should be obvious.

Security Council deadline to suspend uranium enrichment by the end of the month or face the threat of economic and diplomatic sanctions. "The Islamic Republic of Iran has made its own decision and in the nuclear case, God willing, with patience and power, will continue its path," Khamenei was quoted as saying by state television.
