This is an excuse that Jewish in America and Evangelicals use to rationalize broader support from Americans. It is almost as weak as the 2000 year old land claim arguments from some Jewish Nationalists, and weaker than the doomsday prophecies that Evangelicals feel obligated to accelerate at the expense of everyone else so they can ride away on a cloud with Jesus while the planet descends into chaos.
The US has bases in almost every surrounding country of Israel, and literally invaded all the countries that border Iran. It can lob missiles and strike at nuclear facilities in Iran if it wanted to from anywhere. It has the rest of NATO on the European subcontinent to keep Russia in check.
The US can easily tell Israel to pound sand and make good on the supposed idea of aligning with Russia. Nothing of value would be lost.
If it sounds absurd to imagine the fiction where Peru is paying for Israel's defense budget, then it is absurd for the US to be involved too.
