If you're already at the stage of smuggling nuclear bombs across oceans and national borders, then whether or not Iran has the technology to make them is almost entirely irrelevant. There are plenty of nukes unaccounted for from soviet stockpiles, North Korea would probably be happy to covertly sell someone nukes, and so on.

I could probably smuggle a large box from the Middle East to the United States via the Mexican border. I'm not sure you are right about the unaccounted for Soviet nukes.
