"They have bomb-grade uranium and I have little doubt that they would be afraid to use it if threatened. I don't know if we'd be the ones hit, but Israel is probably right in their crosshairs."

What utter paranoid bollocks. First you state that they wouldn't hesitate retaliation with nuclear weapons, then you leap straight to the rabid conclusion that Israel is "in their crosshairs" - Yes they are developing nuclear arms - In case you haven't noticed, nuclear arms were invented over 50 years ago and are already held by a number of countries around the world, including the hot-headed, politically unstable, untrustworthy, unilateral, aggressive and self-serving one known as the USA. Against this sort of threat, wouldn't you want some kind of deterrant too?

"Seriously, would anyone here be upset if the Israelis went in and took out Iran's bomb plants?"

Yes, I'd be outraged.
Seriously, please - seriously, try and explain what motives a country like Iran (or any country) might possibly have in actually being the first to
use a nuclear device when the consequences would be so devastating? Perhaps they are all mad over there? Is it the sun? All that sand? Camel hairs in the atmosphere? Or is it because they are all shady Muslims? Or perhaps you need to sit and realise for a moment that people around the world are all exactly the same and worry about the same small things that you and I worry about. i.e. Getting fed, falling in love, having and caring for your children etc.
Do you really think military action (read thousands of civillian deaths and dangerously increasing levels of global insecurity) is a sensible option?
