While terrain, in Iran and Iraq, could be considered similar, Iraq didn't have any weapons grade uranium.
Whereas Iran does have sufficient potentially weapons grade uranium to easily construct a nuclear device.
As of early 2026, Iran possesses a significant stockpile of uranium enriched up to 60%, amounting to over 440 kilograms (roughly 970 pounds), which is considered a short technical step away from 90% weapons-grade, according to reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and U.S. officials. While 90% is generally required for weapons, this 60% material is deemed easily convertible to weapons-grade, with experts estimating they have enough for multiple nuclear weapons

A short range delivery system (tactical nuclear weapon) could be a decisive tactic, used against any ground force, with minimal internal effect in Iranian terrain.
It would be a very messy ground war, potentially triggering WW3.
NATO need not be automatically involved because it wouldn't be considered an attack on a NATO member.

Only trying to help you understand what's going on in the real world.
I warned in earlier posts that this war would cause economic damage to the UK , the full effects of which have still to manifest themselves.
If you want to support a war that is not in the national interest but which will cause economic harm to your country, that's fine.

What’s the logic for denying Iran the “bomb” ?

Israel, being the only Middle East country, has the ultimate deterrent, but they don't want anyone else to have it.
That figures as they are the instigator of most of the conflict in the Middle East, either overtly or covertly.
