They are trying. No doubt. The other day it was published in the JPost that Greater Judea was promised to Israel by God. That would be Southern Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank and so on (parts of Syria, too, I guess). They cannot, for long, maintain any serious incursion in Lebanon (which moves north) because Hezbollah will not allow it (see 2006). A different beast to Hamas despite Israel's qualitative advantages. They cannot, that is, even do the things the settler mentalists want in Gaza and West Bank (yet) despite what is now an obvious attempt to try.
If Israel were to attack Iran it would require genuine support, not just arms, from the US. It would have to draw the US into that war and the US knows it and wants no part of it. The entire Middle East would be on flames if it were to happen and the US (not Israel) would be receiving all the blame. In the era of rising Arab states, and blocs, and more, it just isn't sane or desirable from even a war-planning point of view to engage Iran in all out war (it would be disastrous for all involved).
It make sense on paper, truly it does. But many in US are itching to get to Iran also. In the end, US will do what Israel does. I guess we will find out in the next month. Another thing to be optimistic for a hot war with Iran not happening is that Israel is planning Lebanon for now
