Which leadership are we talking? The US military has been clear enough that they thought an Iran invasion was infeasible for obvious reasons - it isn't like what actually happened surprised many people, the US never looked like it could take on Iran in a direct war on Iranian soil. It was so obvious not even the Bush administration tried, and the US was in a much stronger relative position back in the 2000s.

If we're talking the likes of Hegseth and Trump then we're all waiting for the inside gossip on exactly what mad assumptions they were making that led to this scheme looking acceptable. Maybe Trump is going senile too, maybe the Israelis managed to sell a story, maybe the US is being deceptive and it is some sort of anti-China attempt.
