They know they are in no position to do anything. Iran, like all of the middle Eastern Arabs, have troops that are pathetic.

Iran Helped Hamas "Plot Israel Attack Over Several Weeks", Gave Green Light, WSJ Reports
That speculation has been all but validated moments ago when the WSJ reported that "Iranian security officials helped plan Hamas’s Saturday surprise attack on Israel and gave the green light for the assault at a meeting in Beirut last Monday", according to senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah, another Iran-backed militant group. Officers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had worked with Hamas since August to devise the air, land and sea incursions, the WSJ reported citing its Hamas and Hezbollah sources. |

See, that's the kicker. Israel's aerial bombing used against Iran was intended to send a message that said "we can touch you, we can eliminate your ability to build nukes, stop fucking with us," and Iran didn't listen. At this point, the Israelis know that Iran isn't getting the message and they're going to have to do more than just blow up a nuclear reactor and some fuel tanks. Israel has 169,000+ active military personnel, 465,000+ reserve military personnel, and there are 1,499,000+ people fit for military service. Israel could potentially muster a very large force and use it. I'm sure there are plans in place to do this if needed. By contrast, Iran has 610,000+ active military personnel and 350,000 reserve military personnel. No idea how many people are fit for service in Iran. Would it be difficult for Israel to mount a land offensive against Iran? Sure. Impossible? No. They've proven their skill at warfare before. ETA: you also have to remember that Israel has better equipment than Iran does and their troops have morale, something that Iran lacks. |

There are some reports of Israel developing stealth fuel tanks as to not compromise their ability to remain undetected. It sounds like they likely used these to make the trip as the F35 wouldn't have enough fuel otherwise. |

View Quote Israel 'invading' Iran would be THE biggest shit show / military blunder this century, taking first away from the 2003 US invasion of Iraq. They lack the ability to project heavy combat power that distance, especially with an unfriendly Iraq in between them and Iran. Without YUGE US military backing / support / etc, they would get crushed simply due to the logistics of having only an aerial supply chain. Israel's only real play against Iran is wiping out their nuclear program either via precision bombing attack or some covert ground military operation. Or if they want to dial it up to 11, they could nuke Tehran and get the WW3 candle lit. |
