#2 I give you Operation Opera, June 7, 1981. A huge success, which immediately drew the condemnation of the foreign governments including the US, and prompted UN Resolution 487 which condemned Israel. Nearly 30 years later the nuclear facility at Osirak remains closed.

#4 Osirak was indeed a victory, Besoeker.

Iran's program is in deeply buried hardened tunnels, for the most part. While there are some things one can do they are not so easy a target as was Osirak was.
