So do North Korea and used to do Cuba. For at least some part, that’s for internal politics. Also, it’s typically the weaker party that makes such explicit threats (if the weaker party knows they’re the weaker one, the stronger party doesn’t need to be so explicit)

One nuke on Israel likely will piss America off, too, and rapidly will lead to the end of the Iranian regime.
I think Iran won’t launch a nuke at Israel because they know that, even if Israel cannot retaliate, the USA will.
Some people say Iran, having seen what happened to Iraq, simply wants to have the deterrent of nuclear weapons, just as Israel does. I think there’s at least some truth in that.
