Given how the Iranians have dispersed their nuclear sites, it is doubtful that Israel could manage an effective attack against
them (sans nukes), much less a simultanious strike against the Revolutionary Guard.
Also, launching an unsuccessful attack of that nature means that when the first Iranian nuke does detonate, it happens in downtown Tel Aviv... not some test site out in the desert. If the Iranians can generate enough doubts about culpability, they might not even have to ride out a full scale Israeli counterstrike (at least not one directed entirely at them).
