Two things to remember, most Iranians are not against the US, Israel, or all of these so called "sworn enemies". Nor do they wish to see their country destroyed by the lunacy of launching nuclear weapons.
Unfortunately, their current leadership appears to be bent on establishing himself as a martyr and we can only hope that those around him have cooler heads.
As for your question, no, they don't deserve any credit for not already launching nuclear weapons or releasing a dirty bomb (a much more likly scenario, IMO). The potential destruction of their nation, fear of such a response, is all I believe that stands in their way.
And yes, we should be fearful that this conclict is only a match strike away from a much more dangerous global conflict.
