Israel has threatened action for years and done nothing.
That isn't going to change UNLESS Iran definitely gets nukes etc.
I think you're dead wrong this time. Israel knows full well--and apparently they're the only ones who accept this truth--that Ahmadinejad is not pursuing nukes to increase his stature (no pun intended). They know he's pursuing them to use them. They're not gonna wait for that to happen. That little nutjob is an existential threat to the state of Israel. He fervently believes he's been chosen by Allah to pave the way for the 12th Imam, and that the way to do that is to annihilate Christians and Jews. Israel won't knowingly sit back and let him get the bomb.
And hey, on the chance he does get the bomb, I don't know that he wouldn't use it on us first. Fire a missile off a container ship (as they've practiced) parked off our coast, detonate the nuke a hundred miles or so above Indianapolis, and 75% of our country instantly goes back to 19th-century technology. We would lose tens of millions of people by the time the infrastructure could be rebuilt to barest minimums.

Ironically, just had this conversation with a young guy here (about to go into the Air Force BTW). My point is; if Iran is nuke capable, they WILL use it. Strategically an EMP over our heads is the best plan, their next strike would be Israel hoping for the 12th Imam to show up and save their a**. If Iran doesn’t have the bomb yet (but almost) I would expect Israel to strike soon.
Filling up my gas cans tonight!
I hope I’m wrong. I’m just tired of waiting seeing Israel bluser for 10 years and not lift a finger.
