You love it, do you? What do you suppose is meant by the word 'threat'? Does it only mean that the rogue state that amuses you so much can utterly destroy the serious military-industrial Power? Or can it mean that they can kill a few - sometimes many more than a few - people? Are these acts to tolerated, as long they pose no existential threat to the nation as a whole?
'Threat' means ANYthing that can kill ANY of your citizens, from one all the way up to 'all of 'em'.
Also, I think you mis-read the ayatollahs. Something tells ME they wouldn't mind all that much becoming shadows burned into the pavement. They do not think like we do; keep that in mind when you try to predict what they'll do next.
