The smartest thing that Iran can do... is to put together an entire fleet of aid shipments for Gaza, and demand that U.N. observers review the cargo and accompany the ships in delivering the aid and distributing it to the people of Gaza.
Iran should then coordinate with both the U.N. and with the Red Crescent to have aid personnel, U.N. or African peacekeepers and Doctors without Borders to have ships accompany the Iranian ships into the Gaza ports, and to distribute aid and medical help to the people.
That would upset Israel to no end. It would take the distribution of food and aid directly OUT of Israel's hands. It also prevents Israel from striking the Iranian ships, because there will be U.N. observers and outside NGO's present. It would also create an area of non-aggression (no Israeli troop retaliation) due to the presence of U.N. peacekeepers.
Never respond to someone's aggression in the way they expect and want you to. Always respond asymmetrically. Do precisely what Israel DOESN'T want.
If Iran really wants to grab Israel's attention... then work internationally to have an international response to the "crisis".
Ask China to have representatives, perhaps diplomats or even provide a few aid ships themselves to Gaza. Ask Turkey to provide some aid and help with the distribution. Iran could ask African governments for assistance. Get a small international flotilla coming in to Gaza with aid. Have the U.N. inspect everything to ensure that it is all non-military aid coming in... but don't let Israel play any role in distributing it or helping the people medically, or providing security. Have Lebanon and Jordan help out. :>)
Something like that would embarrass Israel and isolate it further... and would put an exclamation point on the embassy attack.
