After the strike and before this reporting Israel could justify de-escalation by saying the nuclear program was crippled...
Except Netanyahu doesn't appear to want to de-escalate. And has a long history of repeatedly declaring Iran is only X weeks away from a practical nuke to justify immediate strikes.
Netanyahu can want whatever he wants but a "serious" war with Iran is not within the practicalities of his domestic political situation unless someone else (the US) is picking up the tab.
