Israel will do nothing.
I have asked you repeatedly to show the math, and you have failed or refused, so it ain't like anyone takes anything you say seriously.
Laughing at the superior intellect....

You would set your Mountain Dew atop a nuclear weapon, because you don't even know what one looks like.
It might look like a coffee can: 8" in diameter and 14" in height.
It would weight 71 pounds (about 75 pounds in its shipping container, assuming the container was a wooden crate like the US and Russians used).
It would fit in a back-pack; a suitcase; a woman's purse; a gym bag; a tote bag; or just about anything else you can carry.
It weights 71 pounds not because of the HEU, but because of the 5 mm aluminum weapon casing, and the rails, and the PBX.
You only need about 15-16 kg for a warhead (assuming at least 90% HEU).
Iran has been running test enrichment since 1998, and production since 2005. They should have at least 2 dozen warheads, and the communication, technical, ordnance, maintenance, transportation, security, storage and support infrastructure visible all over Iran by satellite....
....but they don't.
This is from your right-wing source:

Figure 7. Frequency distribution of estimates of the time for the Fordow plant to produce enough weapon-grade uranium for a nuclear weapon case,....

[emphasis mine]
Uh, the weapon case would be 5 mm of standard military grade aluminum (97% Al with 3% iron, chromium and magnesium). Only an idiot wouldn't know that.
You might want to review Secret Service reports of single/double-gun nuclear weapons designed by US high school students over the last 40 years (which were of course confiscated).
And "weaponized uranium?" What kind of stupid talk is that? Smells like MSM nonsense. It's HEU (vs LEU).
Still laughing at the superior intellect....

That's right.
The only way to prevent it would be if Iran tumbled into the Persian Gulf or Arabian Sea.
I think we can rule that one out.

Did I mention it's monsoon season?
Maybe not. Well, anyway, it is and the winds move Northeast to Southwest.
That, naturally, has obvious implications if Israel were to use nuclear weapons, since the fallout would drift across the Persian Gulf and land on the UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia (and also Yemen -- although I don't think anyone would really give a damn).
Talk about gasoline prices rising.
So the winds will shift late June/early July and move Northwest to Southeast.
Meteorologically....
