We can't know for sure what military arrangements have been made between Israel & the US. But Israel has vowed not to allow Iran the means to produce nuclear weapons. Regardless of what the US desires in this case, Israel will look after her own interests first. And the US will have to go along with whatever the outcome might be and support Israel completely. After all, that's what the US bases in Iraq are for.

Israeli airforce pilots, are in high spirits, hoping it will be their assignment to bomb the Iranian nuclear sites, and are in training for this mission now.

Depending on the Iranian response, an all out war could break out. But I doubt if Iran has any good friends or allies willing to risk war with the US/Israel/Nato. The Arabs abandoned Iraq, and they will surely not lift a finger to assist non-Arab Iran. And Russia, todate, hasn't shown any desire or balls to confront or antagonize the U.S. And the growing alliance with China and Europe is just in its infancy. Besides, they are, after all, all of them, too busy chasing the mighty dollar. So, the big question in my mind is will Iran risk ending up like her neighbour, or will she pull back at the very last moment?
