Given Iran's aggressive history, anyone who discounted the possibility would be foolish.

Really? Do tell me about Iran's "aggressive history" of defending itself in an 8-year war which involved US complicity in Saddam's use of chemical weapons. Go on, tell me how "aggressive" those Iranians are compared to the USA

They haven't exactly been dropping bombs and invading countries, actions for which such a military application would be useful. Their aggression is typically limited to funding aggressive groups.
And there's a difference between discounting a possibility, and not jumping to it as the first conclusion with no supporting evidence.
