Iran may have no choice but to attack.
Syria and Lebanon are about to be cleared from our rear to deal in turn with Iran. It is a move long anticipated and almost certainly planned.
The strong move against Judenrein Gaza was bound to excite other extremists. The move into Lebanon in response is virtually a move on Syria. Israel cannot get to the Bekaa Valley without an exposed right flank. Syria cannot lose Saddam's WMD there. So Syria will have to attack. They must be goaded to move prematurely. Then the US will move to neutralize terrorist camps in eastern Syria while Israel goes to Damascus.
Then it is Iran's turn and they will be alone. We probably won't occupy the whole country, just the southern oil fields, while initiating an ongoing bombing campaign against nuclear facilities and supporting civilian infrastructure probably for many years.
Great description. That is however just the 'best case' scenario. Perhaps we should expect that many bumps still lie in the road ahead.

Good thinking and very possible indeed. Syria has been holding the weapons of mass destruction Saddam gave them in the Bekaa valley [during the President's foolish attempt to placate the peace hating United Nations and their national socialist base] and now Israel must get them before they use them to kill Israelites.
It may also be a good time to bomb Irans nuclear weapons production sites.
