#1 The huge missile arsenal Tehran sent to Hezbollah - 13,000 missiles, according to Israel - was intended primarily as a deterrent against Israel should it contemplate an airstrike against its nuclear facilities.

interesting. so by taking out hezbollah, Israel is freer to strike Iran's nuclear facilities? hmmmmm

#2 More likely the US is. One of Iran's threats is that if the US attacked its nuclear facilities, it would attack Israel. The missiles that Hezballah posesses were probably designated for this and were probably the most reliably "accurate" asset it had. The home-based missiles may be able to hit their target, but they have to be considering what would happen if they missed and landed one in Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, etc.. Well, I guess considering could be a pretty loose term here! :-)
