This is a simple way to keep the US overextended. The more US arms tied to the Iran effort, the less available for Ukraine.

This goes both ways (especially with Shahed drones) but those are relatively cheap.

This administration isn’t bound by any traditional rules of engagement however. As we have seen with ICE depraviltiy, There’s nothing stopping the US from behaving the way as Russia has in Ukraine or Israel has in Gaza especially if this gets dragged out and isn’t going as well as expected.
