Yes, that's why Israel will first strike and take out Tehran and the nuclear facilities.
A first strike for Israel with nukes doesn't work due to the size of Iran and its population dispersion.
Only preventing them from getting nukes in the first place works.
Once Iran has them, they couldn't guarantee getting all of them in a first strike, and if 3-4 make it to Israel, game over for the Israelis.
The distances involved also cause an issue, as your warning systems don't have the 1/2 hour to figure things out a US Russia/China exchange has.
The same problem plagues the India/Pakistan conflict.
