nice posting all those random internet articles btw, try using your own knowledge for once .
I really couldn't care less if it could make nuclear weapons at that particular time, the danger was there , end of story.
but what do you expect Israel to do? leave things alone and ignore threats?maybe leave it to the rest of the world.
Jewish history teaches that Jews should not leave their protection in the hands of others , hence Israeli policy to prevent threats to the state and to its people, and those are threats.
don't like that policy? fine, do something about it, Israel doesn't attack for no reason , at this point, the public in Israel percieve the Iranian nuclear program as an existential threat (wheter that feeling is justified or not is up for debate but that is the feeling) , hence government responds to these fears accordingly.

Israel has nukes, but it doesn't sit on Iran's borders, its not an official policy to destroy Iran, never has it attacked Iran, directly or indirectly.
the same is not true conversely, Iran have Hezbollah and to a lesser extent, Hamas as satelite organisations on the border, that is a direct threat. heck , I could go as far as call Lebanon a satelite state of Iran given how Hezbollah almost controls that country.
hence they are threatening me directly and have a history of doing so, the threat is very different..
Israel is as much a threat to Iran as Iran is to Israel. To Iran Israel is just an enemy state with nukes who happen to also have the most powerful military nation on earth backing them up. If you think Iran doesn't have grounds to fear Israel as much as Israel fears Iran then you're mistaken. Iran has got little reason to hate Israel , or to consider it a major threat, there is no territorial dispute , there are no shared borders, and yet, they are sitting on the border of Israel via satellite organisations. heck , if Iran actually had relations with Israel like in the pre 79 era , there would be far less issue . and it wasn't Israel that broke off relations with Iran , it was Iran that broke off relations with Israel and declared it an enemy state in 79 , so this is Iran's fault. the Iranian threat to Israel comes in 2 forms . 1 ) the direct nuclear threat, although that one is alot less likely (not unless the Ayatollahs have gone totally mad) 2) By getting nuclear weapons , along with a combination of the satellite organisations (and frankly , the Iranians have similar organisations in Iraq, and allegedly Yemen), Iran is attempting to become a regional power beyond its sphere of influence. That lowers Israel's deterrence, and having less deterrence is something you do not want in the Middle East, especially with some of the groups and countries that sit around it (by countries I mean the Hezbollah run Lebanon and Syria), so there is both a direct , and an indirect threat from Iran . and no , Im far from biased, I don't want to attack Iran , but in the current circumstances , them having nuclear weapons is a threat . again , what threat does Israel pose to Iran? its not on its borders, nor is it trying to control its neighbours and usurp them in their sphere of influence and nearby area.
