To the point: Iran has aggressed against the US through its proxies numerous times through the past few years and decades, and was still calling for the destruction of the United States while acquiring the means to make that happen. Perhaps you are just arguing that there is a statute of limitations on defensive action.

Then I will just point out that Turkey has been attacked several times by Iran, and the United Kingdom bases on Cyprus were also attacked.

Beside the point: I nonetheless don't have a problem with NATO staying out of this, as I stated earlier.
