 There is a lot of evidence of Israel striking Iran covertly over the years: car bombs planted by motorcycle riders, stuxnet, commando raids of underground facilities, airstrikes in Sudan, airstrikes in Syria, capturing shipments of weapons, etc.  There is some overt strikes to - the US striking solemani for example, and of course the strike on the Iran consulate in Damascus that just happened.

The evidence of Iran striking Israel overtly is missing. And covertly it is extremely thin, and all of it could be false flagged even given how thin it is.
Even the evidence of Iran developing nuclear weapons is kinda thin, compared to just doing nuclear power plants.

Of course Iran is supplying Hezbollah/Hamas/Houthis. But maybe they are just weapons salesmen. I don't go attacking the gun shop that sold the gun to the kid that killed my son (that's a made up story for illustration).

I think Iran is probably funding these groups,and assisting these groups, but I'm FAR less certain at this point given that this information comes from the West which I have already concluded are psychopathic sadistic recidivist liars that want war. 
 Oh for sure, these are all made up wars any way, in order to keep conflicts alive and endlessly financing the MIC. All parties involved have blood on their hands. 
 It's not legal in any country I know of to sell weapons to someone who you know plans to use them to go off and murder people. It certainly isn't in the US. I don't see why you'd expect a country to standby why another sells to known terrorists who then go off and deploy terror. That's a legitimate reason to be attacked.

You can say there's no evidence, fine. I just take issue with the poor analogy. 
 The US is selling weapons to Israel who uses them to murder people.  So it's perfectly legal in the US to do what you say is illegal. 
 Oh sorry, they are giving them for free. 
 I was referring to your analogy. I dont see any evidence that Israel is murdering people. You just seem to not like their response to being attacked. That doesn't make it murder. That's the whole point of having a state. 
 "I dont see any evidence..."   Either you are refusing to look or you are in denial.

Their targetting A.I. was programmed to not strike the Hamas fighter until he got home to his family so that the strike could take out the family too.
They just killed the children and grandchildren of the Hamas leader.
Over 41,000 people are dead now, MOST being women and children.
They withhold food and water, and obviously intentionally kill aid workers who try to bring in food and water.
They obviously intentionally killed doctors, who now have to operate undercover.
They obviously intentionally killed journalists. Journalists now have to be undercover. 
 US is also supplying rebels in Arabic/Muslim countries.

Remember that US also supported Taliban some decades ago, to go against Russia.

They also supplied Rebels against Lybia

The list is Infinite
