Certainly the above is different from what is being reported by MSM. In fact if I search for:Iran pummel Israel only reports of Israel pummeling Iran come up.
I did manage to find the below that suggests the intervention will be going on for quite some time.

One State Department official said too few people were read in on war plans.
U.S. Central Command, meanwhile, is asking the Pentagon to send more military intelligence officers to its headquarters in Tampa, Florida, to support operations against Iran for at least 100 days but likely through September, according to a notification obtained by POLITICO.
It’s the first known call for additional intelligence personnel for the Iran war by the administration, and a sign the Pentagon is already allocating funding for operations that may stretch long beyond President Donald Trump’s initial four-week timeline for the conflict.
The Pentagon is also trying to ship more air defenses to the region, especially smaller, less expensive counter-drone systems that the department has been developing over the last several years, a U.S. official said.
I believe there was a miscalculation on the administration’s part. Iran will not be a quickie resolution like Venezuela. SURPRISE!
