I would assume that an attack by Israel would be as a last resort, and for national survival. Their military is intelligent and top rate. I would assume that every asset, from commandos to F-16s to missiles would be used. I really believe that they would succeed, because they will be deadly serious, and failure is not an option. Plus both of our militaries have ties in many ways, and if Israel were to pull off an operation like this, I believe we will be opening some doors for them.

Your right that Israel will take this very seriously and soon. It will be up to Israel ultimately to take action.

Oil is the crucial issue as to why the U.S. and other nations will likely stay out of this. Even so, Iran would try to strangle the global economy by shutting down as much Mideast oil as possible through an embargo and military actions in the Persian Gulf once their precious nuclear program smolders in ruins.
