BEIRUT: Iran could hit US bases in the Middle East in response to any Israeli strike on its nuclear facilities even if American forces played no role in the attack, the leader of Lebanon’s Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah said on Monday.
“A decision has been taken to respond and the response will be very great,” Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said in an interview with the Beirut-based Al Mayadeen television.

Now it is proven fact that without the help of USA, Israel can not attack Iranian nuclear facilities. Israel does not have latest generation of MOP GBU-57A Bunker Buster Bombs for hitting deep and effective Iranian Nuclear installations. Similarly Israel does not have Northrop Grummans B-2 Stealth Bombers to deliver the Bunker Buster Bombs. Further Israel has only 5 Lockheed martin KC-130 aerial tanks for refuelling the attacking F-15s and F-16s. While USA has about 80 and 5 possessed by Israel will not suffice. So if USA announces its participation or not and Israel attacks Iran, take it with 100% guaranty it is with the assistance of USA.

Ex-CIA head also thinks so:

But please keep in mind I have no concern with CIA.
and an Iran / Hizbullah ‘response’ to a US military base anywhere will ‘regretfully’ ensure US participation.
It would be really ‘funny’ (well, rather ‘tragic’) if Israel will involve the US sort of ‘against their will’. …
