After the U.S. trains them and supplies them with arms

Seems you know very little about this. Israel developed a nuclear arsenal without any help from the U.S. whatsoever, and their two major wars (in '67 and '73) were fought without any U.S. arms. And incidentally, the IAF has actually made significant improvements to many of the weapons systems the U.S. has sold Israel since that time, something that no other nation can even imagine doing. And as far as training is concerned, I believe you're getting Israel confused with Saudi Arabia -- Israel's training methods are their own and extraordinarily sophisticated.

This attack will NOT be isolated to Iran. Other Muslim countries will come to their aid

Highly doubtful, considering those nations assuredly know that it would be a suicide mission for them as well. Underestimating the cababilities of the Israeli armed forces is a deadly game.

Actually Israel had plenty of M-60 tanks and F-4 Phantom jets during the 73 War. Nixon ordered a massive resupply to Israel during the progress of the war. Stop talking about matters you know nothing about. I have wargamed the situation many times. Yes Israel upgraded the Sherman tank. Big deal.
