That's the point everyone making these memes is missing. If they actually had nukes already, none of this would be happening.
This offensive is supposed to make sure they don't develop nuclear weapons, whether the reasoning is fabricated or not.
Something would be happening.
Israel seems perfectly happy to unleash wave after wave of terrorist attack and assassination campaign on individuals within the Iranian government. To date, this tier of attack has failed to cause any country to break the nuclear taboo. We didn't nuke Afghanistan after 9/11 (although a few fringe elements suggested we should). Russia hasn't used nukes in Ukraine. Despite suffering their own wave of terror attacks, France and England haven't unleashed nuclear hellfire in North Africa or the Middle East. Indian and Pakistan haven't traded nukes over their border disputes.
Would a nuclear-armed Iran drop a nuke over Solemani or the pager bombs against Hezbollah? If nuclear-armed Israel can keep their bombs on the ground, I have to assume Iran wouldn't be any more extreme.
If only we could create some sort of agreement with Iran where they wouldn’t build nuclear weapons. That would solve the problem without need for violence. Only somebody actively looking to start a war would walk away from a deal like that.
It's a bad agreement to make. If a nuclear nation tries to make a deal with a non-nuclear country to not develop a weapon that country needs to double their nuclear program funding.
The US doesn't respect their agreements and Russia clearly hasn't. At best nuclear nations just want to keep the non-nuclear nation subservient
