I have the article opened. It is based on a conversation with David Albright a retired atomic scientist.
His knowledge is interesting to understand what the Iranians are up to.

The answer to the article's title: Can Israel ends Iran's nuclear program?
The answer is no.
Tehran will probably succeed in acquiring a nuclear weapon sooner or later. Presumably Netanyahu has somehow convinced himself otherwise. Perhaps he hopes that, by attacking military and regime targets, he will enable the Iranian people to overthrow their government. If so, it’s a hell of a gamble.

As far as the option the US could use, the article does not inform.

Using planes, any plane, only the US have is clearly US involvement and is a big escalation.

The US president has people appointed to advise him on what the options are and the political implications of each strategy.

Is the US sending a message that:
F-15s, F-16s and F35s are not able to do the job even in the hand of a sophisticated end user like Israel.

A political adviser may say: The guy started the attacks with the clear goal to get the US involved. We would be playing on his hand if we jump in.

They will pounder practical questions:
Would a US involvement means higher approval rates?
Would customers buy ore weapons from the US resulting from the US entering the fray?
What message does this send to China or Russia (see above about the planes not doing the job)?
