Short answer; it wouldn't be in Israel's interests.
Forty years of inflammatory political rhetoric aside, the serious people at the top of the IDF understand that any significant action against Iran is going to draw in Hezbollah. Here's Security Minister Gilad Erdan putting Hezbollah's missile count at 150,000 last year.
That's simply too many missiles to take out in a preemptive attack, and it's a number that would completely overwhelm Iron Dome defensive capabilities. Every major population centre in Israel would be vulnerable.
Ergo, an attack on Iran is a no-go.
