They can't. Please refer to public info in True Promise.That's the dilemma indeed. We don't truly know what Israel's anti-ballistic missile defense system looks like. And how many can they intercept. When you add the US Navy and AF into the equation, it becomes even more challenging to determine the threshold, before system is completely overwhelmed. We also don't know if they have replenished stocks since the last attack in April.
Iran can overwhelm the system without a doubt. But what happens if it underestimates its ability to do so is the question. Imagine 700-800 projectiles/missiles are fired. Iran wants to overwhelm the defense systems and hit targets successfully. Maybe thinking a small amount will get through, but actually 400 land and impact their targets. Then you have dealt a strong blow that makes them want to respond severely or invoke NATO intervention.
That's why it can be considered to allow Hezbollah and Ansarallah to have a go right before the Iranian salvo so precise and immediate Intel can be had.
