If the Iranians wanted a nuclear bomb they would have built one years ago.
Netanyahu has made a career out of telling the world that an Iranian nuclear bomb was imminent,he has been saying it for years.
What good would a crude low yield nuclear bomb be to Iran, when you consider that their enemies have a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons, it would be suicidal for Iran to threaten them.
The real reason for all this enmity towards Iran is due to its support for the Palestinians, its enemies want the present regime replaced with another that will be pro American/European, whether that replacement regime is democratic or not is irrelevant.
I don't think so.. They've had to have monitoring eqpt since 8 years ago, It monitors gamma radiation from the U235. The sanctions being applied make life difficult. They have recently started making and stockpiling much higher % U235 as explained above,
there's no other use for it. It's nasty. It's radioactive, no way you'd be passing that stuff around to wonder at how dense it is. And for flucks sake don't drop it...
Israel has form, having destroyed reactors in Iraq and Syria. It also had a go at Iranian facilities last year(?) without any losses..
Iran's defences aren't very good, their air force isn't very good. While Iran's nuclear facilities are more widely distributed than Iraq or Syria's. Israel will have a swarm of modern drones to make the task easier. Producing modern drones is well within their scope even though they can't update their ageing air force.
This article covers some of it but is a bit out of date by the looks:
Israel and Iran used to be allies, until 1979. Since then, following the Islamic revolution, Iran sees Israel as its arch - enemy.[i] Iranian leaders had threatened over and again to destroy Israel.[ii] Brigadier General Amir Hatami, the former Iranian defense minister and an advisor to Iran’s Supre

Adding Iran's Shahid (sp?) drone manufacturing facillities to the target list would do the world a favour too.
You think Iran wouldn't love a nuclear weapon? I think you need antidelusion pills and your naivety gene editing.
"It would be Suicidal "- well that hasn't been a particularly good deterrent for mad Shias who strap stuff round themselves, has it?
A "low grade" bomb?? What on earth are you on about? If they flattened Israel, the Israelis would rebuild.
If the Iranians splatter the Promised Land with plutonium and the rest, it would become a Pripyat clone desert, uninhabitable. Just what they'd want, perhaps?
Using a conventional or a part-fissile reaction know as a "fizzle" would simply spread "dirty" material over a much more confined area than a fully successful fission bomb, which would therefore be
less bad for the Arab states surrounding Israel.
