Nobody will accept US ground troops being in harms way for Israel.

The US remember the last time while occupation of Lebanon Google Beirut Barracks Bombing

U.S. warplanes, ships and troops ready in Middle East if conflict expands
U.S. warplanes, ships and troops ready in Middle East WHEN conflict expands. There. Fixed it.

Just what Bibi been hoping for, dragging the US into the fight and have American Women and Men do the fighting for him and his evil Agenda.

For Years now Bibi has been trying to tangle the U.S with Iran so the U.S. can do the fighting and dying for him just like what happened in Iraq, Syria, and Libya and now Iran. The same old Zionist plan nothing has changed for the past 30 years or so.
Pres. Bush Sr. and Jr. were warned but couldn't resist the temptations, Pres. Obama & Trump resisted and so did Pres. Biden.
Bibi and his aids in Washington will continue looking for ways to involve the U.S. in any way possible as they know damn well they can't go it alone.

So after a year of being "Bibi"-whipped, Biden is ready to pull out the old Yanqui "Big Stick" to "negotiate" and seal his blood-stained legacy.

To quote... at least 41,272 people have been killed and 95,551 wounded in Israel's war on Gaza....
Reviewing above, such firepower is there to provide Israeli government the means to settle this conflict.
Not only with Hizballah, but to cripple Iran, to brutally enact total war.
Iran could be utterly decimated.
NB
The Middle East conflict is a redundant tragedy. This tragedy might cause the death of tens of millions – Arabs, Jews and Persians. All in vain. The flaring up of this conflict is a risk for the entire globe, at a time when humanity faces other grave challenges.
Israel is a tiny state established by refugees from Europe, who survived persecutions and Gitler's gas chambers. The United Nations have decided in 1947 to establish this state, and an Arab Palestinian state next to it. Both nations, The Israeli Jews and the Palestinian Arabs, have roots in the pertinent land. There is enough room for both. Coexisting together with the other ethnic group is not a penalty – it is a source of material and cultural enrichment.
There is no sense in the insistence of the extremist Arabs on demolishing Israel and slaughtering its population. This ambition will only bring about a large-scale disaster.

Seeing as America's allies in the ME are the Axis of Antidemocracies, that tells you a LOT about America.
That the Iraqi government wants American troops OUT (American government position is 'No you don't'), the world wants America's pet genocidal force out of Palestine (American government position is 'No you don't') and the antimissile systems on these ships are no more effective than the ones that Iran demonstrated the ability to punch right through when Trump was the President, this is really about American politics.

Sure you don't mean the Russia/China allies? Literally the only dictatorships the US has left while China Russia catch them like Pokemons.
Make it official or it is meaningless.
The US has barely any troops in Palestine and "the world" doesn't get a say.
I'd say they were pretty effective when they shot down what 99% of Iran's petulance against Israel?
