And, I don't see us finding many allies in such an effort. After following the Iraqi and Syrian conflicts and the Shia triangle formed as a result, I can't even conceive of the mess a war on Iran would cause for the US and any allies we now have in the Middle East.

Despite that, I wont' be surprised to hear some of the old Bush-era neocons coming out of the woodwork soon.
