Neither side has true escalation dominance.
Israel definitely has more offensive power than Iran. However, it is severely hampered by the fact that it has a limited defensive stockpile compared to the offensive stockpile that Iran has. And there is a restocking problem (time to get the interceptors, as well as the number of interceptors).
Hence, Israel on its own (and even with US support, as we’ve seen) cannot escalate against Iran without the risk of running out of interceptors and the continued war becoming existential for them.
Hence, iran cannot escalate because it knows it can attract more Israeli/US offensive strikes. And Israel cannot escalate because its defensive stockpile with further deplete to critically low levels.
But credit to Iran for building deterrence. It is able to exact severe costs on the US in the region, and the US/Israel have no answer to that.
