Russia has made it clear that it won't stand by while Iran gets the Iraq treatment. The air defense systems it gave to Iran are cutting edge and stopped the last Israeli attack dead in it's tracks. F-35's, mind you, the best we have. Iran also has thousands of hypersonic missiles that can't be shot down, some having multiple warheads.
Trump loved Bibi when he was strong and held all the cards, now he's weak and hanging on by a thread. Trump probably pities him at this point. Would he want to risk a hot war with Russia and the possibility that Iran would target the oil production of the few allies we have left in the region for his sake? Plus, Israel is on the brink of civil war. The "moderates" want to salvage Israel's standing in the world and repair the damage to it's economy and politics, Bibi wants to hang on by giving the "settlers" everything they want, including control of the IDF.
Whatever Trump decides to do, he's walking a tightrope.
