They probably realized the U.S. had done that when we did nothing to North Korea after they declared they had nukes.

Completely different situation for a variety of reasons. But I hear your sentiment -

I don't see Iran with a nuclear bomb -

I think it is just a matter of time since they've decided to do it and have the raw materials. No one is interested in taking Iranian oil off the market. No one is interested in the price associated with Iran retaliating to an attack by restricting the flow of oil through the Straits of Hormuz.

There are no good options, and striking militarily runs a risk of failure that only worsens our own position. The Big Stick works best when you don't have to swing it.
