They could've literally just done nothing, Iran's strike was just a warning after the consulate was bombed and they showed considerable restraint considering that
Israel: Commits war crimes, perfidy, breaches the geneva AND vienna conventions openly, slaughtering and sieging and starving civilian populations in the millions
Iran: Gave warning and gave a limited strike on military airbases
