It is not as if the United States had been attacked is it?

Taking the US defence status to defcon 3 was a reasonable measured approach ensuring that the Russians knew the Americans knew about the attacks, and to keep out of it.

Not to mention the fact Israel had a nuclear arsenal to ensure that it would`nt be annihilated at this time.
