I wonder whether Iran can actually spare an outright war. There is clearly a lot of anti-government energy flowing in Iran, and that won't have been stamped out by their crackdown on it.

I wonder whether most everyday Iranians would support a war with Israel.

Granted, it's not likely Iran gets directly involved - they'll just drive their Hezbollah prop.

I guess it depends on how much the "helping our fellow Muslims" stuff works. I know it would in Egypt at least.

Iran wouldn't need to radically shift their budget... the revolutionary guard gets buckets of oil money and maintains a constant high state of readiness.
