    Putin isn’t suicidal. We still have mutually assured destruction.

    The most likely scenario if we did nuke Iran imo, is Iran launches everything it has at Israel. I wouldn’t be surprised if other nations like Egypt follow suit.

    The diplomatic consequences for the US would be huge of course. I’d suspect the only nation in the middle east that would maintain relations would be Saudi Arabia. Israel would likely no longer exist

      Israel would probably fire nukes back at Iran and other countries.

      But hey, if they end up nuking everything and making it uninhabitable, we might finally have peace in the middle east!
