Not really. Their leaders want power and money
It’s the same as in every other country with controlling governments. The religious saber rattling is just a form of control to help them consolidate power among rivals and maintain it among the population. It also helps to distract from internal troubles (or corruption) by blaming problems on outsiders.
Any kind of war that might threaten their regime and personal power is not in their interest. That is why major countries do not fight each other in wars anymore. There is too much risk. Recent conflicts are either civil wars, proxy wars, or economic wars.
