Iran isn't an unstable country though... That's what's most problematic. Iran is a very shrewd nation and unlike Pakistan, they have a handle on their society and don't allow rogue elements, like Al Qeada in Pakistan, to function within their borders.
Through Hebollah, they encourage militancy, but the Revolutionary Guard is a well managed military that maintains a clear line of command, without getting the nation of Iran dirty.
They are a threat, because they are not unstable; they are fully capable of forming a coordinated effort.
