A) There will be no UN approval for any action wrt Iran. This means it
might be a US only, Israel only or possibly US/Israel joint effort

B) None of the above are feasible in the wider view. Hormuz would be
closed. Oil would hit quite astonishing prices & While the Russians
would jump for joy (which is why they are helping the Iranians with Hormuz
closing tech) the PRC & India would be way less than chuffed.

I am curious who in Washington is planting these stories & why as they
are either more manifestations of the current admin's deep incompetance or
there are people who need to be re-leashed.
