It almost sounds simple! I actually have more faith in the Israelis and only because they have more experience in modern warfare and they are much closer, of course.

Nope, it’s not at all simple if the Israelis are left with this task. That way is fraught with peril as the Israel will be within range of Iranian missiles. Israel would be faced with a grave danger and the possible escalation is impossible to predict. Also the chance of a wider war is likely.

For the US, yes, almost simple to just put down the nuclear and missile programs. And should the Iranians counter-attack, well within US ability to rapidly suppress.
