Jonathan Spyer in his article An Increasing Possibility:
It is not only the scenario of an Iranian nuclear attack that is focusing concerns. Rather, there is concern that a nuclear Iran would use the “immunity” purchased by a nuclear capability to increase its support for countries and organisations hostile to Israel.
Bingo.
Slow bleeding by unending terrorist acts or a nuclear bang. What a choice…

It won’t be just Israel that suffers from the newfound Iranian immunity to punishment with the development of Iranian nukes. The Islamic Republic is a troublemaker throughout the Middle East and even further away. Iranian nukes will be used for intimidation and nuclear blackmail as far as the Mullahs’ weapons can reach. There will be no safety for anyone, including the Iranian people, until the Pharaohs of Tehran are overthrown and replaced by a government not prone to violence and spreading its armed doctrine.
