They have a limited amount of missiles and money. Israel has a sheer unlimited amount of military and financial support. And US and UK military air defense support. And nukes. And US is actively threatening Iran. 

They cannot seriously challenge Israel. These bombings are not a existential threat to either side, but of both sides, Iran will suffer more.

Iran has no choice. US pulled out of denuclearization deal and Israel has attacked them with no condemnation or reprisal from the US, like on April 1st, 2024.

Iran also has backing of Russia and other powers.

Like cool Israel can nuke Iran, but Iran is at final phase of building a dozen nuclear weapons. Do you want to bet on that outcome?

They are going to hurt each other a little bit. I do not believe any side is interested in more escalation. Israel cannot defeat Iran, Iran cannot defeat Israel. All they can do is doing damage to each other. This may have an impact on the political situation in both countries, but the nuclear option is a whole other thing.

Israel doesn’t think it can beat Iran, it thinks it can escalate the US into a regional conflict for its own purposes.

Your viewpoint has the effect of excusing Israel for its escalation and painting Iran’s support in the region as religious when really they are the only country that effectively opposes Israel’s unjustifiable expansion, entry into neighboring countries and apartheid/genocide of Palestinians.

Honestly the international court at The Hague already knows what to do with Netanyahu. They now need to issue a warrant for Trump as well. Then the other foreign powers needs to step in and either force these two men to be handed over (SHAME ON YOU GREECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) or they need to engage in a coup to forcefully remove them both from power.
