Note that in the Iran/Iraq war, Iran was invaded, and by a rough equal in military capacity. Should the Iranian forces with the ability to attack US assets do so, they would be quickly neutralized, by aircraft they could not see or harm.

They would be essentially committing suicide. It would be the blind fighting those who can see.

For the US, a regrettable and potentially ugly task, but one well within ability. For Israel, an almost impossible task with conventional weapons in the current situation, and one that could lead to a major escalation.
