They just simply haven't the material capability to take out that many targets that far away from home. The country's always living on a knife-edge, it hasn't really developed much beyond a capability to defend itself against geographically immediate threats.

Once they'd done that it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Iran retaliated in part by striking American assets in the region. Game on.

Indeed. Whatever Israel does at that point will be something of a sideshow.
