That happened back last November, the Iranians said he had been assassinated by a robot gun but people scoffed at the time and the Media was even more focused about Trump.
They have been sniping at one another for years. Obviously Israel can't afford a long war of attrition, not sure the Iranian government could sustain one either without being overthrown.
I'm not sure Iran would immediately use a nuclear bomb if they obtained one. Probably act more like North Korea and just be a threatening simmering kettle to get sanctions reduced. Slowly extend its influence using proxies like Pakistan.
I guess eventually the end of China's Belt and Road tentacle through Afghanistan?
