Iran's anti-aircraft systems are similar to Syrias and we saw how effective they were last year when Israel hit alleged nuclear installation.
What lessons are you trying to draw from Hezbollah/Israel conflict? Israel's air force was unchallenged over Lebanon. This is a question of air superiority only.
You are joking about "powerful Iranian air force". Right?

Dont mind Buzzy. His hatred of the US and Israel makes him incapable of being objective. Iran has no air force to speak of and what they have would be destroyed in the first few hours of a fight. The only response that Iran could muster would be for Hezbollah to launch its rockets into Israel. This would cause some causalities but would not create any serious long term damage.
