If you have a weapon, getting a delivery system isn't that complicated, particularly if the target land mass is only minutes away. It is if you don't have a missile capable of carrying one. Which they don't. The best they can do with any range is about 1 metric ton. Which is but a fraction of what is needed for a first generation weapon. And they would have to have enough to cripple Israel. A single weapon won't do it. Like at the peak of the Cold War, there is just no way for them to hit Israel hard enough that they cannot respond. Now what it do is make Iran even harder to invade than it is now. Burying them and waiting for the opposing forces to overrun that position and detonating them then is very feasible. So this "Iran wants to wipe Israel off the map" is just fear-mongering. They cannot do it and not risk being glassed over. This is all political posturing. Again, the point about the other countries in the region flipping out is a valid one. But no one is tackling that issue.
