You are aware that all nukes are air-burst ? This is to increase the damage. Optimal height is determined on yield and it can be more devastating 1km away than at ground zero due to lensing effect.Even if Iran had the bomb do they have a launch vehicle capable of carrying it and deploying it right.
Cause you can't just lob another ballistic missile at Tel Aviv. You would just have a 1/10 chance of the bomb deploying correctly. What would you even do, airburst it so high the AA missiles can't connect, would that even do anything?
If you ram it into ground you just made a very dirty bomb as dust gets mixed with radioactive material and gets carried away and moved around forever. Which is terminal for sand shithole that entire peninsula is. Chernobyl got enough growth and rain that radioactivity is now 50cm in the ground.
