It all depends on how the attack would happen. A few weeks ago on BHTV we heard Larry Derfner say
if Israel attacks Iran they are committing mass suicide so certain people in Israel don't see Iran as a sitting duck.
Here's a little taste of what American planners would expect if the US strikes Iran.
Edit: And bear in mind that a tactical strike against Iranian nuclear targets would at best just delay it by a couple/few years. And also bear in mind that according to the US' own intelligence the Iranians are not even working on a nuclear weapons program.
