Iran doesn't have an air force that can carry out strike operations over that distance. Its missile force is a one-shot affair that probably can't overwhelm Israel's missile defense capability. These options require at least two other countries to join the hostilities by allowing Iran to use their airspace. In short, (like someone else) the threat was bluster.</blockquote>
