Yes it would just be slightly less direct and conceivably (not at all likely, but conceivably) a situation could be engineered that would give us pause before joining in.
And also, to launch an attack on Israel would require either shooting the missiles over our army in Iraq or through the airspace of a NATO member.
All of which is to say that I have very little fear of Iran launching a missile attach on either the US or Israel (there are other things that Iran may do that are less remote, in my opinion).
If you mean them launching missiles against us as in the mainland United States then you can stop being worried. Iran is very far away from having a delivery mechanism that could do that.
