The only way Iran can hurt anyone but Israel is if they can smuggle a bomb into the country and detonate it. More likely they would fire a missile or sneak a bomb into Israel. If that happened we could (and probably would) jump in to defend out ally, but if we just attack them because we think they might be dangerous we would stir up a real hornets nest.
