That's Russia's backyard and I doubt Putin will sit idly by while Israel uses nuclear weapons on one their regional trading partners. Russia could flatten Israel with one strike and they would certainly make the Israelis aware of that if they haven't already. I do believe that Israel wants other countries to think that they would nuke Iran as a way to add urgency to the negotiations and get a tougher agreement, but in the end if the Iranians were to able to build a bomb Israel and the rest of the world will ultimately just live with it in the same way we live with N. Korea, Pakistan, India, etc.</blockquote>
