A classified war game held this month to assess the American military’s capabilities to respond to an Israeli attack on Iran forecast that the strike would lead to a wider regional war, which could draw in the United States and leave hundreds of Americans dead, according to American officials.
The officials said the war game was not designed as a rehearsal for American military action — and they emphasized that the exercise’s results were not the only possible outcome of a real-world conflict. But the game has raised fears among top American planners that it may be impossible to preclude American involvement in any escalating confrontation with Iran, the officials said. In the debate among policymakers over the consequences of any possible Israeli attack, that reaction may give stronger voice to those within the White House, Pentagon and intelligence community who have warned that a strike could prove perilous for the United States.
The results of the war game were particularly troubling to Gen. James N. Mattis, who commands all American forces in the Middle East, Persian Gulf and Southwest Asia, according to officials who either participated in the Central Command exercise or who where briefed on the results and spoke on condition of anonymity because of its classified nature. When the exercise had concluded earlier this month, according to the officials, General Mattis told aides that an Israeli first-strike would likely have dire consequences across the region and for United States forces there.
Israel will soon do probably an air-raids, only and take-out sites selectively in Iran. We, the US of A won't be in grave danger from them doing so.
We have bigger fears, like what happens the day our dollar dies and if, when that happens China is still invested in us by over a Trillion dollars.
God bless Israel to do what they always do....follow their hearts on this and kick butt when needed. They really can't afford to keep waiting though their extraordinary restraint is beyond admirable.

You are failing. the 'ole "LOL" isn't making your post any more wise or successful, nor is it gainsaying the wisdom that I posted.
Israel WILL be victorious against Iran, and our nation is in very deep "doo" because of our being set-up to have Communist China propping up our currency.

Although it's insightful to see and hear military input on this issue, i've personally never felt that the US could be exempt from some sort of Israeli military action against Iran.
