Which is exactly what happened in the Iran-Iraq war. The Mullahs were already under domestic pressure and then Saddam did the Mullahs a giant favor by invading Iran. When that happened the Mullahs domestic opposition all but evaporated and they had a united nationalistic force taking up arms.

The rest was history, Saddam's conscript army got spanked.
