America’s biggest mistake in dealing with Iran was not retaliating when it first took over our Tehran embassy back in 1979. This was clearly an act of war ... and we effectively did nothing. It's all been downhill from then ... costing us billions of dollars and thousands of American lives. The Iranian mullahs and Quds Force are guttersnipes and need to be neutered ... with the least damage done to the Iranian people and infrastructure.
That said, the United States needs to respond only to a direct attack by Iran on our people or assets. Getting into a kinetic conflict with Iran over its attacks on Saudi Arabia is Saudi Arabia’s problem and it needs to take care if its own business. And, be not mistaken, Iran is devious and dangerous ... so any retaliation needs to be well thought-through and designed to be proportional.
