There's no way to know...but either way it appears certain that Hezbollah did not have control over any Zelzal-2s, so they can hardly be given credit for not launching them. That Iran won't give them control supports the notion that they would use them if they could...which is what I said originally.
Iran's forbearance is only so as to not start a direct war with Israel prematurely: i.e. before they have nukes. I have to wonder if the Iranian U enrichment program at this point isn't mostly to give NK deniability if Iran detonates a nuke bought from NK in Israel. (Or as a back up if Kim Il Sung finds some way to self-destruct.)
Iran could probably deliver it in a rental truck. This has the virtue of not being rocket science; it's embarassing to lose a nuke because your rocket went haywire. And imagine the honor of being the first nuclear suicide bomber! I wonder how many virgins you get for that?
Obviously this is all Bush's fault; he's already been told all he has to do is have everybody convert to Islam and we'll all live in peace under the New Caliphate. What a stubborn fool.
