Iran is in the top 25 economies in the world, and is a crucial like in the energy strategies of Asian and Eastern European countries. In this regard, Iran is worth a dozen Israels in the economic analysis.
Further Saddam is dead, I'd say its safe to say that Iran feels like saying, "Duh, Winning."

From what I understand, the Iranian regime are scumbags and detestable, they send arms and funds to all kinds of nasty people, basically they are the CIA nemesis of Asia and North Africa
However, that was not the question, the issue is whether or not such scumbags are militarily and economically capable to hold their own, which they are, and as !@#$%! mentioned, are far more important to the regional powers than several Israels combined.
