If Israel attacks Iran, then there will be consequences beyond any political issues with the west. It may trigger an all-out conventional war against Israel on all fronts. Right now, I do not believe Israel can rely upon the US to assist like it once would.
So, if they do attack Iran, I hope they are prepared to defend -solo- a full-on military response of varying degrees from one or all of their moose-limb neighbors. they should NOT have to stand alone, but in these days and times, I wouldn’t put it past 0bama to turn his back.
Israel will continue to be silent partner in the current missions of destroying Iranian influence in Yemen and ultimately in Africa; they'll continue to watch the Iranian proxy thugs in Syria and Lebanon to make sure they don't add to their capabilities; Egypt and Israel will continue to cooperate on the destruction of smuggling tunnels from the Sinai into Gaza; if I had to make a wild public guess, Israel's first major strike against the Iranians will be in the sea lanes south of the Suez Canal.
Assuming that she can. It assumes that they know 100% of what Iran is doing.

George Bush was wishy washy on the attack so Israel went in alone. They will do so again.
And leaking some of Israel's capabilities to give Iran and others a heads up...
