I think it will probably be a very long term low-intensity deal until and unless Iran gives someone a nuke. Then there is going to be some heck to pay.

Israel is a special case - remember, that land was Muslim-occupied for almost a millenia, how would you feel if the U.S. Government moved you off your property (that had been in your family for generations) because some Native Americans had 'original claim' to it? And then, you were forced to live in a refugee camp where there were minimal sanitary facilities, no running water, your children had to go to school in make-shift tents AND every single day when you went to work, you were subjected to taunting and hate-mongering as you waited at gates which separated Israeli-occupied territory and your land (the best example I can think of is from "The Pianist", basically any scene where Jews were crossing into and out of the ghettos under the watch of Nazi soldiers).
