There’s hyperbole, and then there’s ridiculous hyperbole.
Depending upon who you believe, Israel has between 80 and 200 plutonium spheres on the top of IRBMs that mean that Iran doesn’t have a hope of defeating it. Even if Iran managed to produce a warhead or two, MAD would still be all on Israel’s side.
The biggest threat to Israel is perhaps the way the US protects right wing governments in the region - including that of Netanyahu - and ensures that there are plenty of conflicts to keep the arms money flowing. Perhaps if Iran didn’t feel itself under constant threat and had an Israel which showed the least signs of negotiating ability, the pressure might start to reduce.
