They were not attacked because they are working on nukes. Stop believing shit like that. They were attacked because Israel wants regieme change in Iran. Syria didn't have nukes. Assas is gone. Libya didn't have nukes. Gaddafi is gone. Saddam didn't have nukes. Saddam's gone. This ain't about nukes.
Bibi would like that. But as the BBC noted regime change is "highly unlikely". It's not analogous to Libya or post-9/11 Afghanistan where you had active armed groups to fight the Taliban on the ground. No, this is wag the dog. Bibi is trying to save his own ass. You could argue this even helps him legally, but certainly distracting attention from your domestic troubles by finding an enemy to attack is a favored strategem of demagogues from time immemorial. His government is in trouble, there is talk of civil war in Israel. This unites the public against a foreign foe, or tries to. It's very obvious what he's doing.
