Yes, it would be bad. But Iran has been cooperating so far until Trump fucked everything up. That's the thing that changed - letting Israel run rampant, killing everyone they want without a peep (or just strongly worded letters). There is no difference between Iran cooperating and having nuclear power plants, and Iran not cooperating, trying to make nukes. They were attacked because "Israel could", not because there was danger of them getting a nuclear bomb.

It is a manufactured casus beli to hit a sovereign state, murder its military brass, politicians and scientists. It is literally the same logic that Russia used against Ukraine - and equally as nonsensical as it was then - the "they were going to attack me and so I attacked them" excuse.
