How is a nuclear strike on Iran going to prevent them

It may not need to be a nuclear strike. But I would imagine it would work much like the Israeli strike against the nuclear facility in Iraq. Shut the place down. the only reason anybody has ever mentioned using nukes is that it might be necessary to use a more powerful bunker buster to insure the bunkers are destroyed. Iran has bragged about  their super deep bunkers that they believe can withstand a conventional attack. Fortunately, the Iranian leaders  chose to build their nuclear facilities away from heavily populated areas, almost as if they might anticipate the possibility of a strike. As for acquiring one from another source? Funny thing is, nuclear detonations leave a "finger print" so to speak. They can be traced back to the reactor the material came from. Anybody passing off a bomb to Iran to use else where would be known immediately.
