I think you're both right. Rightly or wrongly (ok, wrongly) the administration is dialing down the Iranian airstrikes so as to get other parties on board. Definitely lowest common denominator. But that also means a strike is more likely, even if weaker. And I think the other poster is spot-on about the result: the Iranians will go nuts. They'll strike back. Then it will be a free-for-all, with other players like Israel getting in their licks too. It will hardly matter then how big the original strike was. Iran will get blasted. Which is what needs to happen anyway.
