The US is desperately trying to convince Iran not to strike, or to at least keep it limited. They're worried that the Israeli response won't be restrained; this is exactly what Netanyahu has been looking for.

At the same time, Putin wants to urgently speak to Netanyahu later today. He will probably try to convince Israel not to respond. If Israel responds, Iran will too, and things will escalate.

The US is REALLY not happy right now. They don't want an Iranian-Israeli conflict, even if limited, especially not before the elections.

🇮🇱l🇮🇷 A western source with knowledge claims that unlike the April attack, this time Iran is expected to attack Israel only with ballistic missiles that reach Israel within 12 minutes and not with drones or cruise missiles that allow for much longer preparation time for defense and interception - Axios

This may severely diminish the US-led coalitions ability to help Israel as most of their help in April was to shoot down drones and cruise missiles using jets.

Only a few ballistic missiles were shot down by US Patriot battery in Iraq and Aegis-equipped ships in the Mediterranean, with Israel’s Arrow-2/3 air defences handing the vast majority.

Heavy stress may be placed on Israel’s Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 air defences as a result. - Elint on X

Mark my words; no matter WHAT the Iranian response will look like, even if we literally nuke Tel Aviv, some people will still say it was 'for show' or useless. Let's see.
