I'm referring to a surprise attack on their nuclear sites in hopes of destroying their secret arsenal of weapons.

It doesn't matter who strikes their enrichment sites, there are better ways to keep them from engaging in nuclear enrichment.
Nuclear enrichment is done not only to create weapons but also legitimately for nuclear power generation. It's not done entirely for bomb making, although it is used to make bombs. For Iran this has become a matter of national pride an autonomy. The threat of bombing is exactly why they want a domestic nuclear program, so they feel like they're capable of making a bomb if necessary. Actually attacking them is about the fastest and most certain way to make sure that Iran developed a nuclear arsenal. They already have the scientific capability, and an attack would only delay them and make them more determined than ever to build nukes to deter anyone from attacking them in the future, which is exactly how we use our own nuclear arsenal.
A much better idea is that of the "nuclear fuel bank". It gives Iran the opportunity to fully develop a domestic nuclear power industry but the fuel bank does all the enrichment in a safe country and ensures that someone is watching how they use their fuel. This gives them all the benefits of a nuclear industry and minimizes the risky parts. Iran essens their independence on oil (surprisingly I recently learned that Iran is actually a net importer of oil), ensures themselves a future source of energy and the engagement might get them to ease their security concerns.
One should keep a little perspective here. There are countries with more problematic situations and track records with respect to nuclear technology, and we've relaxed our restrictions against their efforts to develop nuclear technology. Iran isn't even the biggest problem here.

In light of Israel refusal to abandon its nuclear program should Iran and many other nations have the same right to have nuclear program too be fair man.

No...Iran has every right to have a nuclear program that is used in civilian purposes...And no one has proved by now that it isn't...
So Iran doesn't want to give up something they have every right to and no one should tell them how to handle their internal affairs...Iran is not a threat to no one,but if attacked they are not going to sit back and see how their country is destroyed .they are going to fight back,and seeing who is supporting Iran,I don't think Israel would have something to win from an attack on Iran...

Don't worry. The U.S. will do it for Israel. They're already drawing up plans "just in case". Afterall, we are the saviors of everyone and we have unlimited resources and goodwill to throw away at every country that might become a threat. Nevermind the fact that the president refuses to try to use diplomacy first.

Sure, if you want to start World War III. But if you'd rather do the more challenging thing and trying to defuse the situation peacefully, then the answer is no. I think that if they want nuclear energy that's fine, but the moment they use it against other people then they are fair game for military action.

No. They are at least 5 years from having a nuclear bomb.
