Your thesis appears to be that if Iran obtains a nuclear weapon, it is dumb and crazy enough to assure its own destruction by using it against us through indirect means ...

It is indeed NOT my view that that is a probable scenario.

"When, not if, Iran finally develops the big one, and they are totally mad enough to obliterate Israel, and threaten to sell it to terrorist groups in order to threaten the U.S.....well, the POTUS has a problem."

In fairness to you, I didn't phrase that very well. I can see where you may have obtained your impression. Let me try again, by inserting a 2-letter word:

"When, not if, Iran finally develops the big one, and if they are totally mad enough to obliterate Israel, and threaten to sell it to terrorist groups in order to threaten the U.S.....well, the POTUS has a problem."

EOM.
