i would doubt the report you read is based on any solid intel, that does not mean i think its unfounded.
in 81 israel bombed iraq, taking out a nuclear reactor sold by the french to saddam. israel bought the f-16s from usa but the f-16s were built for iran and we backed out cause of the iran hostage deal. we offered them to israel. israel had planned the iraq bombing for 2-3 years and there was no leak.
anyone who says "israel plans nuke attack on iran" is probably 1/2 way right, but they likely didnt hear it from israel.
also. it didnt require a 'nuke' to take out the iraq reactor and likely would not for the iran nuke program. they may be talking of using "depleted uranium" used in "bunker busters"

Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty From Wikipedia
is an international treaty, opened for signature on July 1, 1968 to limit the spread of nuclear weapons. There are 188 sovereign states party to the treaty. However, two (India and Pakistan) out of eight confirmed nuclear powers (i.e., those who have openly tested nuclear weapons), and one unconfirmed nuclear power (Israel) neither signed nor ratified the treaty. One further nuclear power (North Korea) ratified the treaty and then later withdrew. The treaty was proposed by Ireland, and Finland was the first to sign. In New York City, on May 11, 1995, the parties to the treaty decided by consensus to extend the treaty indefinitely and without conditions.
