You can't completely destroy anyone's ability to build nuclear weapons - the knowledge how to do it is here. You can't 'unknow' the science behind it. That's the problem.

Another problem is that everytime a non-nuclear-country is attacked, it is an ad for others to spead up their efforts to get nukes.

This is why Ukraine, after giving up the nuclear weapons stored on their territory (Budapester Memorandum), has been invaded and North Korea, barely able to exist on their own, has not..

True, but this bombing, along with the various killings of Iranian nuclear scientists over the years, with two significant killings just this month, does significantly slow down the restoration of their nuclear program. I'm mostly concerned at this point about the immediate expected retaliation(s) as I don't think they are going to roll over. I hope to be wrong and diplomacy will prevail.
