Yes, that's called a deterrent. It's the reason we have nuclear weapons. The reason we don't have Russian military assets positioning throughout the North Sea threatening to bomb the hell out of London. FAFO.
I have no love for the regime in Iran but to suggest they want nuclear weapons to deliver a strike against an enemy risking total annihilation for their entire country is nonsense.
