Iran - crazy not stupid. They fully understand geopolitical balances of power: they have everything to lose by attacking first and everything to gain by wearing the first attack. How long before the UN General Assembly (prompted by Iran) applies for sanctions against Israel. The US would find it quite hard to veto it, especially if Iran had done nothing (overt) back.
