Looks like we are on our way to full open war between Israel and Iran. Not cool, as both sides have shown to be on ideological war paths. Can anyone de-escalate at this point, and how long before Israel decides a nuke is the answer?

It's scary, and official comments from the WH were interesting, saying that they are expecting retaliation after Israel hit Iran's embassy, but at the same time, that they are expecting that whatever those attacks end up being, that it wouldn't draw the US into a war. You could read that as they don't expect anything significant, or you could read that as the US isn't keen on supporting Israel after they bombed another country's embassy.
I mentioned earlier, it's unprecedented for a country to randomly bomb another's embassy, which are universally treated as off-limits. But here we are today with Israel's government.

WASHINGTON, April 11 (Reuters) - The United States expects an attack by Iran against Israel but one that would not be big enough to draw Washington into war, a U.S. official said late on Thursday.
The White House said earlier#Washington did not want conflict, opens new tab#to spread in the Middle East and the U.S. had told Iran it was not involved in an air strike against a top Iranian military commander in Damascus.
