I have checked the history books, but I can't find any evidence of Iran invading any country or starting any war in a very long time.

Iran is going to conduct military drills nest week despite US warnings.
As if the uS has any right to tell them what defensive drills to carry out? They are a sovereign nation, something the US gubment claims to uphold and gets vehement about when comes to its own borders, but disregards totally when it comes to other nations it intends to victimize.
I bet they launch into very crowded international waters.

I guess there is the question of destroying America. Is that still a big slogan from their leadership?
With short range missiles? How does that work?

There is nothing preventing them to develop conventional weaponry.
The newspaper said the Sumar cruise missile was built in Iran and travelled around 600 km in its first known successful test. The missile is believed to be capable of carrying nuclear weapons and may have a range of 2,000 to 3,000 km, the paper said, citing intelligence sources.
But the biggest advantage from Iran's point of view, a security expert told Die Welt, was that cruise missiles are not mentioned in any United Nations resolutions that ban work on ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
Iran confirmed on Wednesday that it had test-fired a new ballistic missile, but said the test did not breach the Islamic Republic's nuclear agreement with world powers or a U.N. Security Council resolution endorsing the pact.
