I suspect, and fear, Uncle Sam may push and shove to be the first to bomb Iran.

You claim it was mostly Israel, Biden claims America shot most of them down (BBC)."Israel's Iron Dome and Arrow 3 systems were credited with shooting down most of the drones and missiles from Iran."
Maps show how US, Israeli weaponry was used against Iran's aerial attack
U.S. fighter jets, along with Israel's Iron Dome defensive system, took out 99% of Iran's estimated 300 drones and missiles.www.usatoday.com

You can make your own assessment of course. But for me, if there is a contradiction between USAToday's investigation and what Biden, who doesn't have his full faculties, says, I'll go with USAToday.

I would expect you to given you called defending against an attack they knew was coming and had time to prepare for a "stupendous victory."
I don't care either way. Raisi wants war more than the Iranians, Hamas wants it more than the Palestinians and Netanyahu wants it as well.
At what point will they say enough is enough, the past is the past, it's time to move on?
I can promise if the Natives here had a similar goal of reclaiming their ancestral land it wouldn't be well recieved.

I wouldn't put any stock in what biden claims.
He claimed to take a train across a bridge that never carried trains.
The Iranian attack was retaliation for an apparently unprovoked attack a few days earlier by the IDF against Iran.
The IDF struck the Iranian embassy in Syria with missiles, killing 16 people, including two generals.
In retaliation, Iran launched a missile attack and - from what I'm reading - took out the base from which the strike against its embassy was launched.
All in all, the Iranian attack seems pretty limited and restrained. It would have been easy for this attack on what's tantamount to Iranian soil to be the trigger for an all-out war. I hope that doesn't happen, but it seems like it's what Israel may push for.
The absolute worst way to stand with Israel is with cheap ad hominem.

The truth is that Iran and Israel have been at war for some time, including bombings via proxy, attacks against ships, attacks against enemy installations in other countries, etc. This is simply an escalation of that. Iran's drone/missile attack last weekend was the first time either of them had, without proxy, bombed the interior of the other state.
The IDF blowing up Iran's embassy was hardly "via proxy."
And responding to an attack on one of your embassies with a missile strike on the parties responsible is just taking a page out of the American playbook.
So you agree that Iran's attack was not unprovoked?

Via proxy was not the only thing on my list. I also mentioned attacking ships and installations in other lands. Please pay attention. An attack on an embassy in Syria is not at the same level as bombing the interior of Israel. Iran's attack was an escalation.

Of course. It was not unprovoked, but it WAS an escalation. The attack on the embassy was also provoked. Like I said, Iran and Israel have been attacking each other for quite some time now. For example,
