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?
I did not read the article. The reason to why I thought it had happened recently was because the first thing I saw when I opened FB was news from my newsfeed and the same picture and words you had posted here

So that's the reason why.

I seem to recall what an Israeli once said.
Something about fear of Iran smugling a little nuke to Lebanon and into Israel.
