Israel has nuclear weapons. Iran doesn't. Israel can get away with strikes like this. Iran uses proxies to do similar but deny involvement. Their proxy Hezbollah has obviously been busy since October, and the commanders killed were involved with that. Or maybe it's a response to October 7th. Iran themselves have claimed that October 7th was retaliation for the killing of Soleimani:

They have since retracted that statement and Hamas has always denied it, but yeah.

Obviously, bombing an embassy is bad, but it's not as if they're going to convince their detractors anyway, so why would they care about people who were going to hate them anyway hating them some more?

A bit like how Iran gets away with funding terrorists who target civilians, because anyone who hates Israel isn't suddenly going to hate Israel any less because of it.
