It would become a proxy war like the Yom Kippur war in 1973

If you're asking what the world reaction would be I think there would be a lot of talk and not much action. Probably a lot of saber rattling from Russia and perhaps China, meaningless resolutions in the UN (vetoed by the US if they are too punitive), and lots of hand wringing and loud proclamations.
The bottom line is that Russia and to a lesser degree China will not risk the possibility of direct confrontation with the US. Why would they? What is the strategic value of Iran to Russia or China from a long-term perspective? Is that value enough to risk their own countries in an escalation with the US a possibility they must consider as critical given our shared histories. I just don't see it.

There have been several invasions launched at Israel and the United States has remained out of them. We've given weapons and supplies in support, but it ended there. Israel will act in what Israel considers their best interest, not what the United States says. If they see Iran as a danger, they will preemptively take them out.
Only the village idiot would assume that Israel will not act unless the US acquiesces to such a move.

I think it's according to what Iran is doing.
Look at the attack on Syria's alleged nuclear program.

IT CAN NOT BE ISRAEL ALONE BUT USA and friend ISRAEL, UK.
USA the first sole PROPIETER user of atom bomb ( USA used against JAPAN).
If all start making ATOM BOMB, which is propitery of USA; THEN USA can not control the WORLD. It is natural that the SOLE PROPIETER HAS THE RIGHT OVER ATOM TECHNOLOGY.
However USA, the propieter, is kind enough to grand permission to other nations for PEACEFUL use.
All can use it for PEACE (except propieter user- USA).
Like POOR india is making deal with USA for peaceful use by POOR Indian.

The Iran's would rebuild it, then they would definitely make nuclear weapons and probable use them.
More of the same war that's going on now.
Lots of dead people.

Israel will not attack unless they fell the threat to be a real and present danger. IE, they are about to be attacked by Iran.

If Israel went to war, we would go to war. The ties are too deep and we could not lose our only friend in the region... unless you want to argue Saudi Arabia is our friend...

Russia and China unleash, then we unleash, then bio weapons. Self realized extinction. It will only take the action of ONE MAN to snowball it all.

Israel does nothing the US does not want it to.
Consequences:
Israel is on the verge of reaping the rewards of its settlement programs.
