People don't realise that is war starts between Israel and Iran then Ukraine is fucked. Because Israel is more important than to the west than Ukraine.

The question is if Israel would need help from the west in case of war with Iran.

Israel would of course take help in the form of weapons like Ukraine is getting. I'm not entirely sure Iran wants this though, as it would be mean Hezb getting destroyed and them losing significant cold power. Although, I'm not a huge political buff but that's just what I see happening. Once Hezb does anything, it gives Israel the chance to remove the biggest threat. It also means that I'm in danger because I live near the border

The US can fight two wars at once. This has been our doctrine since Roosevelt. We can certainly supply Israel and Ukraine. If it breaks out Iran's weapons won't be hurting Ukraine any longer, and Iran's nuclear facilities can finally be reduced to rubble.

And...the people of Iran can throw out the mullahs.

Win win win

Can we fight China at the same time, too? A war in the Persian gulf would cut off oil and things around the world will begin to spiral out of control.

Iran doesn't have a navy to cut off shipping in the Persian gulf, so that shouldn't be an issue. Torpedo boats and mines may play a larger issue but we dealt with that before.

Sink one tanker with drones or bomb on a raft. Shippers and insurers will stop traffic.

The USA has other allies that produce oil. It will be a domestic issue but they would not run out because of it. Plus the potential for explosive profits due to war time issues would mean a lot of non-opec nations would be happy to ship whatever oil they don't need for a quick buck.
