killing noncombatants and schoolchildren while negotiations were in progress is STRONGLY motivated to upgrade to nukes, whether they wanted to or not to begin.

At this point, I think only a multinational force enjoining security from attack could convince Iran to give up nuke plans, after their Pearl Harbor moment. After all, such an attack led to the first use ever of nukes. But now the roles are reversed.
