Whether the information is true or not, the one giving it out, far from advocating an attack on Iran, is attempting to
avoid an attack against
Iran, either US or Israeli.
There is absolutely no way the US will launch an attack against Iran if the US public believes there is a non-zero probability of a successful
retaliation by Iran and involving nukes that can reach US. So, far from using that as an excuse for an attack, any US administration will be forced to
find excuses to avoid it. In fact, whether this information is true or not, it may serve as a powerful excuse to
not attack Iran.
Those calling it a lie, if they understand the consequences at all, are those
hoping, either openly or secretly, for Iran to be to be
attacked.
