You might want to look at news over the last several years. Israel has made repeated threats.

Uh, that has been debunked. You might want to read the news about that as well.

Prove it. Show me the plots.

Jordan has a nuclear weapons program. Ooops, I forgot, US allies have nuclear energy programs, not nuclear weapons programs.
Egypt has a nuclear weapons program. Ooops, I forgot again, US allies have nuclear energy programs, not nuclear weapons programs.
I would point out that Egypt's program is far more advanced than Iran's, and Egypt has the Muslim Brotherhood.
Politically...

"In our assessment," wrote the authors of the report on the exercise, Yoel Guzanski and Yonathan Lerner, " the actual likelihood of an attack on Iran once Iran is in possession of proven nuclear capability decreases dramatically, although (it is) not entirely eliminated."

That has to be the stupidest scenario ever.
What moron would test and waste a perfectly good uranium gun-device?
When you're using spherical or linear implosion, you must test-detonate the design, because there is no other way to know if it will work, but the you only use spherical implosion or linear implosion with plutonium. Iran has no plutonium. Iran is not producing plutonium, and the IAEA report proves that beyond any reasonable doubt, and even if it were true, it wouldn't matter, because Iran has no way to separate plutonium.
I would remind all of you that India never tested its uranium nuclear warheads. It only tested it's plutonium designs, the first being around 1974 or 1975.
The US never tested it's uranium nuclear warheads. Trinity was a spherical implosion test, not a gun test.
The only reason Pakistan test-detonated its uranium device was to let the rest of the world know it had one. That was more for propaganda purposes than anything.
North Korea also test-detonated its spherical implosion design (with plutonium -- thanks to Blow Job Bill Clinton).
Critiquing...
