If Iran got nukes, it could attack us anywhere it wanted. Or our allies. A rowboat in the Hudson River would be all it takes. Really, this isn't a country that thinks in terms of its own self-interest, which makes outrageous acts of aggression completely within the realm of possibility.

blah blah blah

If they act as you claim, then bombing them a few times isn't going to act as a deterrent. The only policy response that can handle a regime like you describe is, coincidentally, invasion and occupation. Well **** that. Look at North Korea, an actual crazy nation, and look how massively better off South Korea is for not substantially retaliating to their provocations.
