Yeah, but there is a breaking point. And if Iran is arming Hizbollah with ever-stronger missiles, there's inevitably going to be a point when the threat has become overwhelming.
Too bad the US has lost so much of its credibility, moral authority, power, and most vestiges of diplomatic interest, or presence.
It's an awful situation--has been for a long, long time.
