Hezballah is using up the ordinance that Iran expected to use to deter and punish Israel if it attacked its nuke facilities.

There is speculation that Iran planned Hizbollah's attack knowing the Israelis would respond and hoping to divert attention from their nuclear plans. Maybe it's tinfoil hat time- but what if the IDF and the US are playing along to take attention from our preparations for an attack on Iran?
Neutering Hizbollah and Hamas means one (or two) fewer fronts to worry about should we move on the mullahs.
I'm not sure US foreign policy is that devious but OTOH I would never play poker with GWB.
