The UN determined Iran is in violation of it's non-proliferation comittments, not the US.
Not quite. The IAEA Board of Governors expressed opposition to the Iranian government's limits on some portions of their inspections, but that's merely an objection to a policy that they feel prevents them from ascertaining whether any substantive violations have actually occurred, not a proclamation that they already have. And the Iranian government merely disputes the precise guidelines of components of their access, not whether they should be granted access at all or whether they have to conform to guidelines at all.
Oh, given Iran has already maximised it's threat to Israel in the only ways it can without a nuclear weapon, through sponsorship of proxy terror movements, I think you are wrong.
The "proxy terror" movements that you refer to pose effectively no threat to Israel's existence or security. It's merely when the IDF attempts to overextend their presence into southern Lebanon or Gaza that they escalate the number of casualties incurred on their forces.
Israel probably will attempt to take out the Iranian nuclear program once they think it has reached a critical moment.
Israel will not attempt to "take out" any program because that would only secure the prospect of mutually assured destruction, since they would not receive quick assistance from the U.S. after violating an explicit desire by the current administration that they not escalate the present situation.
