Those things put Iran into a very different category than even a country like China, who would resort to using nukes as a last resort and only if they believe their mainland is threatened.

Even if Iran didnt actually use a nuke weapon on Israel, I have no doubts they would assist, and likely supply, terrorists with a dirty bomb if not a functioning nuke.
You are right about the vacuum part, what I said is moreso based off of theory than reality, I guess my response to that would be Israel acting in their own interest would also keep Iran in check. Personally I see Iran expanding their span of control into Iraq once we are out and then their actions are based off of how much power they accumulate. If there are economic sanctions against Iran than the logical approach for them is military power or imperialism, but a direct strike against Israel would be a suicide mission at best for Iran. Just my own opinion.
