US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

All these headlines make it sound like this could be the start of a shift in the U.S-Israel alliance. Could it be true?

Domestic U.S polls have not shown favor to the war with Iran and with no real "point" in the war itself - it was obviously a losing battle from the start (especially with steep repercussions for energy prices). Midterms are also coming up and as the results, domestically, have started to lean more left, surely this deal was signed in an attempt to sway a blue wave this November.

Personally, I don't think this has any significant impact on their relationship. Time and time again has Israel shown it's deep reliance on the United States, and with the Iran War showing flaws within the Israeli-U.S defenses (especially air), Israel would be stupid to abandon the U.S and continue this war on their own (as they claim to want). The U.S has no reason to abandon Israel, either (no matter how unpopular Israel is).

I also don't think it significantly affects the results this November (with what I predict to be a net win for the Democrats). Hypothetically, however, if what the headlines are implying are true and the Trump team does start to sway away from Israel, either through foreign aid suspension to Israel, or Palestinian recognition, or just something that shows an anti-AIPAC/anti-zionistic ideal - I'd say that it could result in a net Republican win.

The Tucker Carlson/Candance Owens/young Republican crowd want a reason to stay with Trump, and although they're still weary and not fully supportive of him as of this moment, any sign of the above (of a shift away from Israel) could lead this demographic to revert back to the pro-Trump side and be beneficial to the Republicans this November.
