the United States can militarily stop Iran from getting nukes, but it also wants other things in the world - like cheap(ish) oil, a semblance of peace and stability in Shia Iraq and a generally benevolent political environment in the Middle East. the current debate in Washington is what are the things it wants most, and what consequences is it prepared to accept for getting that which it most desires.
Israel can stop - or slow - Irans nuclear program, but possibly at a greater cost to itself than the initial problem, and there's very little point in achieving little and making oneself even less popular than you are at the moment.
