I don't think they have the discipline for it but doing (almost) nothing while playing the victim card would probably be the ideal course of action. A large scale counter attack would just legitimize the war without accomplishing much. If the attack does serious damage the US would just swoop in and bomb Iran on behalf of Israel, if the attack is unsuccessful Israel has the moral justification to further escalate the war, either way it wouldn't defeat Israel and just seal their own doom. However if Iran plays the victim, people are going to look at this war as if Israel is on an unprovoked genocidal murder spree against a harmless country. Launching one or two missiles a day for a few months would be enough to keep the Israeli airspace permanently closed without getting the US involved. Mounting internal and international pressure combined with the economic repercussions of now years of pointless wars could be enough to end the war on favorable terms for Iran (if they manage to survive that long). At least this is how I see it as professional armchair general.
