#3 this seems to part of an intimidation gambit

Iran's regular military is not in condition to carry out a serious invasion of Iraq

they could send some tanks across the border for a few hours but not much more

and of course they could have their agents kill Iraqi civilians one at a time from rooftops

#4 Nice tanks you have there. Would be a shame if they started blowing up mysteriously.
