The U.S. military has indepth plans for everything tucked in file cabinets in the Pentagon.
Not long ago there was a post on this board about the U.S. continuing to update thier plans for an invasion of Canada.
General's plan for everything in advance so that, if the balloon pops there's not chaos.
On another note, the American's know that they don't have the military assets to go after Iran, sure they have plenty of tanks, APC's, planes, ships and artillary pieces, but they don't have the boots in the mud to invade Iran.
A massive airstrike that eliminates the Iranian military makes sense, since the weak point for Iran is that thier airforce is incredibly weak, and thier high level air defense isn't great.
However unless Iran does something that motivates the American's to implement this its not going to happen.
Besides it goes further then that, a fairly recent white paper demonstrates that the plan is not only to attempt to eliminate Iran's military, but to reduce its ability to manufacture, transport, treat water and generally function as anything but a 16th century country.
