They've got nukes. Far more cost-effective than an AC and far, far cheaper.

Nukes work assuming the Iranian Ayatollah and president (who doesn't know what country Alaska is a part of) are gonna act rationally. I admit, there is a pretty decent chance that they don't want to get their country killed, but there is always a chance they would be willing to risk it "for Islam". Of course, I am not arguing Israel would be able to buy or support an AC, but some measure of security beyond nuclear deterence is necessary. Tha Arrow/Patriot defense system is a good start, but that is purely defensive. If that US army report is correct then Israel has no offensive options right now.
