It makes absolutely no strategic sense for Iran to launch missiles against Israel unless there was a major attack on Iran from Israel. There is little doubt that Iran has positioned short range mobile stealthy missiles in Syria. The Iranians supplied numerous missiles to Hamas which they launched with little effect during the Gaza war. Iran was able to study Israel’s Iron Dome defense system when it was deployed. The presence of short range stealthy missiles in Syria was meant to dissuade Israel from attacking their nuclear facilities. No doubt the Israelis would stop most of Iran’s best missiles launched from Syria but not all. Yet even if Iran managed to severely damage some Israeli cities and inflict large numbers of civilian casualties, it would be a strategic disaster for Iran. The Israeli retaliation would be devastating and humiliating for Iran. The nuclear facilities would be destroyed, the Iranian air force and Revolutionary guards would be targeted and suffer greatly. The mullah regime might actually fall. Very much doubt Iran will launch an attack.
