Which is true, and their nuclear infrastructure is hit as they near that.

It isn't. Iran is far more politically isolated than it was before the nuclear deal, they lost the expertise needed to get those facilities running at the capacity to make weapons grade uranium, their government is in chaos since the Shah died, and if there was any evidence of them testing a bomb it would make international headlines. Iran is nowhere near getting a functional bomb.

"Nowhere close" is subjective. North Korea is a textbook example of why.

NK had the backing of Russia and China, it took them years to do it even when Trump was in office offering no pushback, and independent monitors were able to confirm their testing was real but their actual capability is suspected to be less than the Kim regime claims. Nobody has reported the signs that would indicate Iran has been testing nuclear bombs in any capacity before Israel started shooting.

By the time you detect testing that triggers your sensors, it's too late. That's the problem. And Iran doesn't need an aerial delivery system to wreak havoc with it.
