Yes, the US basically did attack to the full extent of their capabilities.

Basically:

US and Israel mass bombed Iran, Khomeini was killed and replaced by his son

Israel launched a big offensive into Lebanon

Hormuz was fully blocked for over a full month, the situation is complicated now but still mostly blocked, US afterwards also started blocking Hormuz itself

US lost several aircraft including an AWACS and over 20% of it's Reaper drone fleet

US bases everywhere in the region attacked in retaliation with several radar systems destroyed

Various infrastructure in the gulf states attacked

US and Iran agreed to ceasefire about a few weeks ago with some on and off flare ups happening
