Japan is an ally. Norway is an ally. If either ask for assistance the US needs to honor the alliance. Otherwise it should be up to them to respond in whatever way they choose.

Honoring an alliance does not require that you start a war which will destabilize an entire region and bring all those economic gains to a grinding halt as "Trump's War" sends the price of gas to $5.00/gal.

I also remain very far from convinced that Iran was actually behind this.

In my response, the assumption is that Japan and/or Norway would start the war, probably after claiming Iran started it with their attack on merchant ships.

Frankly I agree that the US should stay out of wars started by allies, with Kosovo and Libya as two examples. I was opposed to US intervention in both cases.
