No, it wasn't. Israel is incapable of invading Iran.
Trump didn't go any further because a serious retaliatory strike by Iran would have been catastrophic for the US. Even during the very limited announced show of force a missile managed to slip through and destroyed a radar.
Israel is capable of making a foray into Iran if it wanted. However, the true objective of Israel was that it would have been an American invasion of Iran. That is what Trump stopped.

Israel is capable of making a foray into Iran if it wanted.
A foray is not an invasion.
However, the true objective of Israel was that it would have been an American invasion of Iran.
Of course.
That is what Trump stopped.
Bit early for that statement don't you think? After all Trump did commit an act of war against Iran on the behest of Israel. His term isn't over just yet.
Also if the US and Israel have rival foreign policies why would Trump need to stop anything? That would suggest that the US government is Israels lapdog which would mean the US and Israel do not have rival foreign policies.
Comically absurd.
Israel took the worst beating of it's entire history despite being defended by half a dozen countries and by Irans missile capabilities having been severely crippled in the West. The waves got smaller and smaller and yet missiles got through again and again.
How many missiles did Iran launch during the token retaliatory strike against the US? A dozen? And yet one slipped through and hit 'nothing' according to Trump but actually destroyed a radar.
It doesn't take a genius to realize what would happen if Iran would take out the oil infrastructure of the Gulf states while seriously attacking US bases. So no it's not comically absurd.
Israel wanted the war with Iran to end because they were running out of interceptors. Trump gave the excuse. He didn't go against Israels wishes. Doesn't mean that Iran truly won this engagement but Israel failed completely.
Invasion? So Trump ended something that never happened?
Or are you talking about ending the bombardment of the Iranian nuclear program which Trump did not only not end but actually actively engaged in?
The invasion of Iran was on the table and being pursued by Netanyahu, or are you, of all people, going to try and deny that?
Yes, Trump ended an invasion that was going to happen.
