You prefer Hypothetical Situation 3? I presume you mean you fear it? :-)
But in all honesty, I don't think this would happen. I grant it's possible, but in my opinion, extremely unlikely and a conjecture that is bandied about to frighten the public and drum up support for potential military action.
It would be mind numbingly stupid for Iran to develop a bomb and then NOT publicize it. If a "mystery bomb" suddenly exploded in Tel Avid, you can be damn sure that Israel would respond by nuking Iran. Everyone knows this.
Also, why does everyone think that a nation would simply hand over it's most prized weapon, what it's most important technology, it's most proud achievement to a bunch of amateur paramilitaries?
Finally, how am I wearing blinders? To what am turing my back or avoiding? You automatically assume I want to allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons? Or is it you assume I don't think they'll use them?
The answer to the former is "I don't"
The answer to the latter is "I don't"
