Rogue regimes are trying to build nuclear weapons all over the world. The source of the cancer is N Korea that has shown that a small, backward impoverished nation can build a nuclear bomb and the missiles to deliver them. N Korea is also selling its knowledge and materials to Burma, Syria and even Iran.
The Israelis have taken out the Syrian facility, going against the Russian anti-aircraft facilities that were supposedly impenetrable. The Syrians did not know what hit them.
The US is also preparing methods to deal with nuclear installations that are buried deep in the earth. We had a bunker buster bomb, the BLU that was used agains Saddam. A new bomb is in the making, called the Massive Ordnance Penetrator, or MOP. This bomb is 10 times more powerful than the BLU, weighs 15 tons and carries 5,300 lbs explosive. It will deal with bunkers buried 200 feet deep. We can give a couple to Israel.
Here is a picture of the effect of the BLU:
