I forsaw such an attempt to equate circumstance and pre-addressed it in the OP...

The current reality is that the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China, Israel, Pakistan, India, and North Korea already possess nuclear weapons. South Africa and Libya voluntarily terminated their nuclear WMD programs. The pertinint reality in regards to this thread is that Iran has not been fully transparant about its nuclear programs vis-a-vis its UN/IAEA/NPT obligations.
This thread addresses the feasibility and tactics of a preemptive IAF attack on Iran. It does not address, nor was it intended to address, the legality or morality of such an event. The thread offers a reality strictly from Israel's pov. You can either accept such a reality or ignore it. You can't argue it. It exists.

The United Nations Security Council, the IAEA, the United States, the European Union, and virtually all other countries of the global community disagree with you in this regard.
