Does Iran matter?

Israel says Iran wants to destroy it. This is being used as justification for military action and possible war, which could have devastating consequences. Iran lacks the capability to destroy Israel, so why doesn't Israel ignore Iran and leave it alone?

You can't be serious! Iran has more than enough capability. It has been using surrogates so far, but could launch a frank attack. The ability to mutually destroy each other may be preventing that.

@samueltyler2 Israel would stop any attack from Iran. The one to strike first would be Israel. Iran does not have capability to destroy or come close to destroying Israel. This idea is used by Israel to justify attacking Iran, which they have been wanting to do for years.
