It might, but I'm not sure how much of an issue a false positive is. It's not like Iran has an airforce and it's not like there a bunch of civilian planes flying over head.

Also, modern radar can't always tell the difference between a bird and a plane. Especially when dealing with stealth vehicles.

A false positive can be a problem if you're shooting missiles at things that aren't real threats, no? Those missiles cost money.

		It's a problem depending on how often it happens. Letting a bomber through that takes out a military installation or desalination plant is worse.
