Countless times have they pointed this out, and claimed that the only real solution to Hamas, Hezbollah, etc was to destroy Iran's capability to wage proxy wars. Fighting the proxies didn't work, because new ones would just pop up elsewhere. Creating their own proxies (like ISIS and various rebel factions in Syria) also didn't work because Arabs fucking suck at war even when fighting other Arabs.
No, the only real solution was always going to be a hard strike against Iran, so as to cripple their war industry. Actually subjugating Iran is probably unrealistic for various reasons, but crippling them is definitely attainable.
