Most likely because they fear a massive Israeli nuclear counter strike

That is NOT their mindset. The Iranian mullahs and government lost loads of civilians and troops against Saddam.

They were doing soviet style attack with most of the troops having NO weapons. Forcing the following wave to pick up a gun from those who died in the first waves of attack.

They have no worry of internal or world opinion about what they do or who they loose to accomplish their ends.

That can not be forgotten when thinking of Iran and nuclear war. They really do not care who they loose, or who suffers to achieve their goals.. which are sick and perverted by our thinking.

Not to them. As long as their Imam in the well arises as foretold in prophecy.

True. But in the early 80's there was a surplus of Iranian teenagers with revolutionary fervor. They lost huge numbers replaying WW1-style campaigns. Not sure that the Iranian citizenry would be as enthusiastic to absorb huge casualties like that again.

Iran has been dealing with a fair number of internal problems. It just doesn't get reported much in the US Media. There have been riots and the regime has had to put there bully-boys in the streets on numerous occaisions.
