Declaring someone an enemy does not automatically lead to war. America considered the USSR an enemy of democracy for 50 years. They never went directly to blows.
I'm specifically referring to the attacks on Iran that started this mess ~6 weeks ago. If the US and Iran agree, but Israel decides to continue bombing campaigns, then this ceasefire will be very short-lived.

Sure, but Iran did sponsor proxies that did attack Israel. And whether something is direct war or proxy war feels more like meaningless semantics imo.
Historically speaking I think it's clear Iran has been the aggressor in this specific conflict.
Not that I think Israel took smart actions, but that's a different matter.
Korea was a proxy war between the US and China - which is very different from a direct war between those two countries, wouldn’t you say?

The parent said war, and the aggressor of the 12 Day War is unquestionably Israel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-Day_War
