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?

Because Iran wants to eliminate Israel off the face of the earth and has its proxies fire rockets at Israel everyday

@Howardtaylor "Iran wants..."

This is irrelevant. Iran is not able to destroy Israel or attack it without significant retaliation. Israel should stop provoking Iran and continue to deal with rockets from Hamas with their defense system. Attacking Iran when Iran is unable to eliminate them or come close to eliminating them is wrong and endangers the rest of the world. We do not want nuclear weapons to be used again.
