The USA is probably building up warship presence in the Med, as Israel finds its eagle overhead was a real portent of imminent war, sign of its failings to keep to God’s true and honest principles.
The USA neocons need to gain approval from evangelicals and, in their view maybe, God. They might feel posturing like this in Med is enough. It sends the message they need to send. They need to show support for Israel as a geopolitical and religious statement of good faith. Whether it is actually good faith is a key question. But either way, it sends a message of support for Israel to anyone thinking of attacking Israel (and US bases). That might be as far as this apparent ‘good faith’ needs to go. No need to attack Iran. Just stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel is enough, unless Iran attacks Israel of course, in which case there would need to be a robust response.
Probably by putting everything, exaggeratedly, in support of Israel to robustly respond to anyone thinking of attacking Israel, Biden/USA might feel this could bring redemption and fulfil its only holy, worthy purpose. It elevates them. Biden can show dutiful love to God this way. It justifies or offsets the failings. They can set this on one side of their successes/failings marketing report, with failings in Ukraine on the other side of it, like a balance sheet. They can tip the Anubis scale in their favour before Biden has to face him.
