It does not make any sense to take the chance, given the cost, even if the strike were successful.
The Iranian government is a bunch of repressive religious whackos, but they tend to keep to themselves. If Israel would like to reduce the influence of the Iranians, all they have to do is pull out of other people’s territory and settle with the Palestinians based on the 1967 borders. That would end the problems with their neighbors and eliminate a major justification for Islamic terrorists. Given that the current Israeli government is also a bunch of repressive religious whackos, that is unlikely to happen.
