But sir, what if you are dealing with irrational people who do not believe in the sanctity of human life? What if they believe that such action will advance the advent of a Mahdi? Or you hate another race so much you want to see them suffer anywhere?
Looking at how Ahmedinajad glorifies self death "
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Saturday that Iranian and Muslim women have willingly and freely chosen the path to dignity and attaining lofty aspirations and goals....Speaking of women and martyrdom is speaking of the most beautiful and the best things, though it is very difficult, noted the president."
President: Iranian, Muslim women willingly chose path to dignity - Irna

I don't think Iran would dare do that. If/when they decide to use something like a nuke against Israel, i think it would be only upon decision of a full scale confrontation with Israel, i dont think they would delegate that to Hizbollah or any of its proxies. The reason i say that is a nuclear detonation in Israel by any of its proxies would not shield Iran from a full retaliation directly on the soil of Iran itself. Iran will be sure of either being enhilated or enhilate the next day.
