No matter how good the pilot is, in this case the range of his or aircraft is the main factor. Some Iranian sites are just too far from Israel for the IAF to reach and bomb.

Perhaps a few US Air Force KC-10 Aircraft might "happen" to be in the area with a little excess Jet A that they need to get rid of after topping off our B2 Bombers. :)

Israel cannot afford to only wound Iran if it strikes. If it decides to deal with Iran, it will fully commit.
