I thought Iran was really building up their anti-aircraft stockpiles though.

 

I am glad you asked that question. On the surface, Iran's ADA would seem to be 'good', but:

  1. Russia has delayed shipment of their good stuff: http://www.alsumaria.tv/en/World-News/2-45061-Russia-delays-delivery-of-air-defense-missiles-to-Tehran.html
  2. What Iran has now is mostly 1970's technology which would be useless against an Israeli strike (think Gulf War)
  3. Here is a fantastic writeup in 2008 about ADA capabilities around their nuclear sites. If this is still the case in 2010, then Israel would certainly have no trouble obliterating them: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?129494-Fortress-Iran

Very informative. It indeed seems like everyone will just play the sideline game with Israel then. Let them handle it, and maybe even extract deals from Israel to "overlook" the transgression.
