Probably not directly but Russia's likely helping Iran improve their military either way and Russia would be thrilled if Iran/Israel went to war because it would distract America away from Ukraine permanently but I do not believe Iran is insane enough to want an actual war with Israel, they've despised each other for centuries but Iran knows it would end badly for them.
I hate both Israel's government and Iran's government, I think they're both as bad as each other but Iran's attack was because Israel recklessly bombed an Iranian consulate in Syria which is a big no no for most countries, so this was Iran's response to that. During the attack, Iran put outs statements which can basically be summed up as "hey this was our response to your attack! lets end this now!"
So Biden NEEDS to keep Netanyahu on a leash, the last thing we need right now is Israel and Iran going to war, Israel needs to take this on the chin, it was a tit for tat, go bomb some terrorist Houthi's or something, don't escalate with Iran directly though. Iran's attack was very telegraphed, the drones took 5 hours to reach Israel, I do believe Iran's move was just a face saving attack.
Iran is claiming victory, Israel is claiming victory too due to interception rate, as far as I can see, barely anything made it through, I was worried that civilians would be killed but I've not seen any reports of that yet, apparently the drones and missiles were only targeted at military installations. Reportedly Biden has told Netanyahu to take this as a win and move on, he has also reportedly told Netanyahu that America won't back him in an offensive on Iran so this should hopefully be the end of it.
Biden told Netanyahu US will not participate in offensive operations against Iran, US official says
Biden tells Netanyahu tonight was a win, nothing of "value" hit in Israel, US official says
