What good is a nuke without the capability of delivering it?
The small pause that Iran has promised will give them time to work with N. Korea on a delivery rocket, then they will go back into production.
We have graciously given them 8 Billion dollars to pay for the project.
Iran could use a nuclear weapon against Israel and get away with it

"Israels deterrent capacity is only effective against conventional nuclear attacks. If Irans Revolutionary Guard, or one of its terror proxies, detonated a suitcase bomb inside of Israel, it would be nearly impossible to prove that Irans leaders ordered the attack. And without conclusive evidence of Tehrans direct involvement, an Israeli counterattack would be illegal, unjust, and unwise. Therefore, it is plausible that Iran could use a tactical nuclear weapon against Israel without a serious fear of an Israeli reprisal.
If, however, Iran were to provide a small nuclear weapon to Hamas or Hezbollah, or use the Revolutionary Guard to detonate a nuclear device in Israel, MAD would no longer apply.
Israel could only launch a counterattack if it had conclusive proof that the nuclear attack was ordered by Irans leaders. If Tehran fired a nuclear warhead via a missile silo in Iran, culpability would be fairly easy to prove. It would strain credibility for the mullahs to argue that such a strike occurred without its direction. Further, it is a principle of the laws of war that a countrys leaders are responsible for the actions of their military officers.
But if Iran smuggled a nuclear weapon to a terror proxy, or used the Revolutionary Guard to covertly detonate a device in Israel, proving culpability might be impossible.
Israel would first need to establish that the nuclear device came from Iran, not the former Soviet Union or North Korea. But if the device is successfully detonated, obtaining this proof would be extremely difficult according to scientists at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology.
But even if Israel could trace the device back to Iran, it would still need to prove that Tehran itself ordered the detonation. This could be impossible to prove with certainty.
