I see no reason why US shouldn't simply let Israel fight it out. The US has significantly insulated itself against oil shortages by becoming self sufficient, and in the long term oil looks like becoming a stranded asset with mass electrification of road transport - the ME region will soon lose its geopolitical bargaining power as a result. This is a historical opportunity that should be taken with glee, it may just tip Iran into some genuine reform toward secularism & democracy.
