Iran may not have nuclear weapons, but they're not Palestine. They have a standing military and would be able to respond in a significant way. More still, Iran being attacked by Israel would likely enrage other Arab nations in the area. I'd be surprised if Jordan and Syria, which share borders with Israel and are within artillery range of populated areas, didn't get involved.
Worse still, as roachboy said unless it's in the next week or so, Israel could find itself without the backing or protection of the US.
It would be a very, very stupid move on the part of Israel to attack Iran.
