Iran cannot invade Israel without using another country's lands to travel their troops through. They need a country to choose their side. A sea invasion is impossible because I doubt the Iranian navy will find the way all the way to the Red Sea without bumping into a reef somewhere, let stand they have a sufficient landing craft. If Iran's troops travel through Iraq - well that's a reason for the US to get involved.

An attack by Iran, especially if successful, will cheer everyone in the Middle East up against Israel. Syria will certainly be involved, so why can't USA help Israel, a country it has economical and social ties with?
And why does USA have to treat Iran equally, with A-jad having anti-USA speeches part of his morning ritual?
