So the theory is that Israel will get nuked on 8/22?

Or that there will be multiple nukings, including here in the US?

Nah I don't think so.

Worse case is Israel nuked, but I doubt that.

Much more likely IMO are Iran announcing they
A) Withdraw from NPT and officially announce their intent to build a nuke
B) Announce they already have a nuke (or several) and tell the rest of the world 'too late'
C) Do a live underground test of a working Nuke to demonstrate they have at least 1 bomb and the capability to do more.

I doubt it would go farther than that, and would be surprised if they test. But it wouldn't be unexpected at all to me.

Nothing as dramatic as a nuclear attack. 8/22 is simply another milestone in Iran's stalling game. They may make another announcement about their nuclear program, or use it as a springboard to put it off until Ramadan. One way or another, it's using religious themes to lay cover for political shenanigans. Iran's not looking to blow the world up quite yet, but they're certainly trying to use apocalyptic imagery to keep the people inflamed.
