There is simply no way around hitting Iran. Hard. Take out it's airfields and factories, if it's power player are hit as well, like Soleimani was, it could give the young population a chance to get rid of the old mullahs and regain their freedom. This will benefit in both conflicts and give a very clear sign to China that Taiwan isn't that interesting after all...

I'm sure you don't think sanctioning states who are actively and openly wiping out civilians is bad? Even russia isn't this blatant and open with its goals. >On October 10th an Israeli official told a television station: “Gaza will eventually turn into a city of tents. There will be no buildings.” Daniel Hagari, an idf spokesperson, boasted that “hundreds of tons of bombs” had been dropped on Gaza. Then, he added: “the emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy.” That sure sound like something that should attract sanctions and actual military force to prevent.

And also, have you ever considered the logistic nightmare of a war against China right on their backyard? Unless you're rooting for a global thermonuclear war, there's no way the US couldn't prevent a Chinese invasion of Taiwan without losing a few Aircraft Carriers. The US doesn't have this capability, don't have the industrial base, the money and the raw resources for that.
