A military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities could emerge either as an independent option or as a last resort after a series of harsher sanctions. It could come with a Security Council stamp of approval, but it is equally conceivable that it could be launched by a US alliance forged outside the UN umbrella.
Analysts agree that the plan is to mount an aerial assault -- or a combined missile and aerial assault -- against Iranian installations and not to invade the country. Nevertheless, their estimates of the number of targets vary enormously.
Some predict as few as 20, others foresee between 200 and 300, and yet others offer figures of over 1,000, including nuclear installations, military sites and other strategic targets.

Step one, get a different President.
Preferrably one not born in Kenya.
So long as we have the current goof-in-chief sitting in the White House, Israel is at best on its own, and at worst, facing a U.S. aligned with Iran.
High Volume.

Probably best to leave the US part for the very end.
There is absolutely no way that this President will ally with Israel over anything to do with striking Iran.
Ain’t.
Gonna.
Happen.
.
With Obama as president I do not see the USA actively involved. If anything we would be very much in the back ground. The authors scenario’s with us heavily involved is not plausible as of today.
Well put.
However, there’s gonna come a tipping point where the Israelis will say “We can’t wait any longer for approval from the US govt. For the sake of Israel’s safety, we need to strike now”.
And I’m convinced they will.
Your first criteria would be to impeach Bozo and Biden and elect a conservative President.
