The ISIS attack on Iran shows the alignment of alliances in the Middle East.
On one side, there are Saudi Arabia, the Gulf emirates, Al Qaeda, the Islamic State and also Israel.
On the other, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas.
If the U.S. aim is to crush Al Qaeda and the Islamic State, why does the U.S. side with Saudi Arabia against Iran?
If you think Iran is the problem, ask yourself:
When was the last time that Iranian-backed terrorists attacked people in Europe or North America?
When was the last time that terrorists backed by Al Qaeda or ISIS attacked people in Israel?
I can’t think of any.

Other than Turkey, Iran is the only country in the Muslim world with some degree of industrialization. No industry no military power.
Since Turkey is a NATO member, the only real threat to Israel is Iran.
