There's hopes that the US will step in soon to de-escalate Middle East tensions.

Iran has launched nearly 200 missiles at Israel, with most being intercepted.

Israel is promising consequences while continuing airstrikes - and yesterday, forces invaded Lebanon.

The Australia/Israel and Jewish Affairs Council says strong intervention is the only way to end the cycle.

Policy analyst Bren Carlill says Iran's weak military could be swiftly subdued.

"Were the US to send a couple of missiles at, say, an Iranian drone-making factory or an Iranian missile factory - I think Iran would get the message and very quickly realise it needs to step back."
