Proximal means thing that happen closely or immediately. There's a difference between something that happens as an immediate result and things that may happen eventually.

I don't think they're itching to foul their nest. War is a losing proposition for Iran.
Having nuclear weapons changes things strategically by shifting the balance of power. I'm not in favor of it. However, I don't think it will mean that there will be a nuclear attack the day after they get The Bomb either.

Action should be take now. However the 'action' should not be a military attack.

Talk of 'should' is all fine and good, but pragmatic practicalities takes precedence.
