The assumption is that Iran's model of attack would be a WMD strike on Israel, which means that America would respond in kind.
If America had wanted to go to war with Iran in a conventional way they had lots of opportunities by now with the funding and encouragement of various terrorist groups.
America knows that they could never occupy Iran, the insurgency there would be a hundred times what they've seen in Iraq.
It would be a standoff war, Iran as a nation and a country with the ability to bear and support life would cease to exist 15 minutes after any nuclear attack on Israel.
Nothing taller then 3 feet would be left standing.

You're positive about that? I thought that was sort of the reason the US gave Israel nuclear weapons, so they wouldn't have to do the retaliating themselves in that event.
