It's a very unlikely hypothetical scenario lol.
To the point I don't think it deserves discussion.
(Israel, US and it's allies are unable to do an Iraq repeat against Iran, their military prowess simply aren't strong enough lol).

Al-Qassam Brigades target Israeli armored vehicles. Helicopters can be seen at the end, evacuating potential victims.
The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth claims that around 10,000 Israeli soldiers have been killed and wounded in the fighting in the Gaza Strip and says that around 1,000 Israeli soldiers enter the Israeli Defense Ministry's rehabilitation department every month.

What appears to be a Temporary Airstrip has been Constructed at the U.S. Military’s Al-Tanf Garrison Base in Southern Syria, near the Border with Jordan.
For the Second Night; a U.S. Air Force KC-135R Stratotanker, likely with a Flight of F-15Es or F-16s, is crossing the Persian Gulf towards Iraqi Airspace.

Not the second night, those tankers move through that corridor almost daily for past 1+ year since I started checking. The other corridor is from al-Kharj airbase (image: near Riyadh). They go to Iraq, and circle around the eastern border of Syria and central Iraq, then return.
The makeshift airstrip at at-Tanf has been there for years. I've posted it on here before. The RAF tankers and Eurofighters from Akrotiri often come here via Israel and Jordan. This is the place where the US-backed New Syrian Army went on the offensive and returned after being defeated by ISIS, and also the base that Russia attacked in 2014 while US was requesting them to stop.
For anybody still doubting the effects of a rocket on Merkava can refer to this video: tank disabled, has to be towed away by a utility vehicle.
The longer it takes for the response, the higher chance it will be a clear act of war (although it doesn't guarantee that Israel will take the bait and actually declare war).
It takes awhile to coordinate all the proxies and not to mention reaching out to Iran's foreign supporters, so they can secure a full blessing for what they're about to do.
While US is probably the first country to contact Iran within hours and offer a deal where maybe some Israeli warehouses or fuel depots can be destroyed in order to avoid further escalation.
Senior Israeli Officials are preparing for a potential Multi-Day Attack by Iran, Hezbollah, and other Iranian-Backed Groups in Response to Wednesday’s Assassination of Hamas Chief Political Officer, Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Officials believe the Attacks will involve Hundreds of Missiles, Rockets, and Drones, that will attempt to Overwhelm the Israeli Air Defense Array and Allies over a Period of at least Three Days.
Iran will fire more than 1500 ballistic missiles at the same time.
IRAN INFORMS THE UK THEIR ATTACK ON ISRAEL TO COME “NO LATER THAN” WEDNESDAY
US military cargo plane is transporting weapons, equipment and possibly soldiers to the Middle East, with a focus on the Ali al-Salem base.
Syria has reached the airspace west of the Euphrates River.
I think that's a good point. Depending on the effect of the 1st day of bombing, Israel might move in to quickly counter strike Iran. We will see
If there's a behind the scenes agreement, Israel won't do anything until months later, like April 14.
If otherwise there's no telling what can happen.
The western states might consider it too dangerous or risky to allow a counter strike during the Iranian retaliation. Western assets will be combing across the Middle East to defend Israel. How is Iran going to determine which one is Israeli or American when they essentially have the same equipment.
