It is also another reason why I personally believe the various stage elements and planned outcome of the strategy may not be as successful nor as concise as originally intended; also, when you factor in Iran's policies and potentially responses, then the chances increase for potential backfires.
If this plan is carried out (and it is no longer highly secret), some very strong and solid diplomatic backing (and not by the U.N.) in order to settle some of the issues with Iran and regional issues is needed after the attacks may take place.
Unfortunately, in the end I don't expect this to solve very much. I fear some serious strategic and political errors may be being made, putting the risk of tensions (and later regional strategic backfire in the Iraq and Iranian vicinities) on the increase. Historical and recent experience also supports this. Just my personal analysis here.
