My position on this has not changed. We should bend over backwards for the Iranians to prevent them from developing The Bomb, but if that isn't enough, we should have all options on the table with the caveat that we will never do anything alone. At this point if talks with Iran truly are dead, I'm happy with simply telling Israel  "we couldn't do it, it's your turn".
A war instigated by either party against Iran would bury the party long term from the ensuing damage. It would also cut room to bring about the next conflict involving more competent and angsty powers to fight over the rubble. You may win against Iran, but not against Turkey.

The Turkish military has never conducted a full scale offense against an enemy with state-of-the-art weapons and intelligence technology, and there is no particular reason to expect them to be any good at it.
