DBWI: Iran not at peace with Israel?

Now bear in mind, I have no political axe to grind.

But you have to admit that, before the Islamic Revolution, Iran was getting its butt kicked by Iraq, the Shah had declared himself Defender of the Arabs*, and financed militia units in Syria to fight Israel (using $ he'd siphoned off the absurdly-high Iranian taxes)

...and after the Revolution, Iran ground Iraq into the ground, abandoned all claim to the title "Defender of the Arabs", and signed a non-hostility pact with Israel. (years later, in the pattern of Nixon going to China, Bush went to Iran)

But what if Iran had, for some reason, decided not to declare a peace with Israel?
(why? Iran's never defined itself as Arab, even under the Shah)


* = what's Farsi for "ooooh the irony!"?
 
Well, they have to prepare nuclear arsenal immediately, or else they would be under Israel's feet for sure... (or worse, that is to get nuked if the hostility continues)
