The problem is that we fear that they would use them first. These wouldn't be used as a deterrent, but as an offensive weapon. We would wake up one day and Tel Aviv is gone, millions dead, radioactive fallout all over the place (making people live indoors for 7-14 days or at least 2 and then fleeing).
If Iran has a nuclear accident, they will cover it up or blame it on sabotage by Israel or the US. Which isn't to say that it didn't happen...just that it would be put in the paranoia section.
