Yeah: Iran, Iraq, and Syria. They just decided to project that force at 3 countries simultaneously. And if it doesn’t work out for them, that’s going to be the end of their usefulness.
Not just those, though. The west took a huge L in the Suez crisis, but Israel is a way to still have some control over Egypt (which is more or less a puppet state atm). Israel also sits at an important position for projecting power to Afghanistan (lol) and, to a lesser extent, East Asia. South Korea and Japan are much more relevant for East Asia, but Israel still functions as a hub connecting the east and west.
