I do not believe this will ever escalate from anything more than chest thumping and rhetoric.
That Iranian president(don't even have me attempt to spell his name)does not have much real authority he is a figure head and spokesman.
The people of Iran would revolt even more than they are now.
They are very westernized even if their government is not.
The military would probably not follow orders.
Remember this country has had internal problem even before the Shah was put in to power.
The Israeli's are in the same boat.Their population is very young and do not remember their past.
They want to for the most part to just be a defensive military force.They could not logistically sustain a offensive action.
If they were to attack Iran it would make their trading partners Very unhappy.
