That would settle things as a stalemate; if Russia puts Iran under its nuclear umbrella, and we announce that an attack on Israel would trigger a response from us, you end up with a Mexican standoff.

Just a minute. In your good old-fashioned MAD scenario, what happens again if Israel pre-emptively attacks Iran or Iran attacks Israel?

Actually you end up with another Cuban Missile crisis where the nut Castro actually wanted to fire the weapons and Moscow only wanted to use the weapons to create mass panic in the US.

Mutual assured self destruction has a way of ensuring peace as long as none of the parties have rogue operatives that would kill innocent people in a false flag operation to be blamed on others.

A stalemate is fine. That’s better than WWIII. It also puts a lot of pressure on the russians to keep their client under control.
