If Israel strikes it would be right after a Obama win in Novemebr. Obama would be loath to provide the necessary intel and logistics for such an operation. Iarael will do it while they still have a cooperative President in the WH.
Bush did do the set up work on his last visit to the ME.
You can count on an Iranian reaction, most likely an attempt to close the straits of Hormuz. The World economy would collapse in weeks if that should happen, as 40% of the worlds supply flows past that spot. My guess would be that the Saudi military would do the job of keeping the straits open.
The Saudis and the rest of the Sunni Arabs are afraid of Iranian resurgence. There is no love lost there.
