It will be like Russia, where they make nuclear threats on a weekly basis, but know they would be obliterated if they ever actually used them.
Having said that, you’re right about Israel having nukes being nothing to cheer about.
Nobody wants Iran with nukes.
Frankly, I do want Iran with nukes. Iran hasn’t declared war on anyone for over 200 years. They’re stuck in the same neighborhood as a rogue nuclear state that engages in frequent wars of expansionist conquest. The region is incredibly unstable precisely because there is no military counterbalance to Israel. Iran getting nuclear weapons would be an immense boon to peace and stability in the Middle East. I trust the Ayatollahs with nukes a lot more than I do the Israelis with them. At least the Iranians don’t believe that their deity gave them the right to annex entire nations.

I think you just put your finger on exactly why the US doesn’t want that to ever happen.
