There was [one](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mideast-war-and-political-consequences/1008347) that included such, but it got itself locked down.

Narrow focus I suspect enlarging conflict helps Trump. Biden/Harris need to publicly support Israel’s responding to Iran’s middle barrage with “consequences” and they (along with the region, but keeping an election lens here) are best off if the response is calibrated such that all sides can back down from all out war with many additional civilians killed.
