yeah i do think they are trying to ride the line between hurting israel and doing enough damage the americans come in. that would explain why hez who clearly has the missiles to do so (and did lob that one at tel aviv) hasn't done it yet. still, even if the us decided to invade, there's nothing they can do to make up for clean drinking water (carriers have large desal abilities but not anywhere in the same magnitude as real infrastructure). half the population would just have to flee elsewhere.
