If Iran must never have a nuclear weapon, then nukes are an valid option.

If Iran can devistate Persian Gulf Oil fields, then nukes are justified to prevent a workdwide economic collapse.

International Law does not prohibit the use of Nukes.

Pickaxe Mountain is not susceptible to conventional weapons

Regime change could be had in an instance.

There is no other way to prevent Iran from holding the world hostage.

At the very least, Trump should threaten their use.

All we have to do is drop a couple bunker busters followed by a tactical nuke on the sites where ther underground enrichment sites are known to be. No fallout to speak of and no mass casualties, except for military or scientists working underground.

Sometimes people get stupid ideas. What prompted this one?

But that doesn't solve Iranian blackmail.

This would make the United States the largest global pariah since Nazi Germany. Our 80 year run as the global hegemon would be over. In other words, I'm sure that China likes your idea, and this would be China's wet dream.

Im presuming Iran can lay waste to Persion Gulf oil production.

If you assume that then nukes become logical.

Speaking of stupid ideas how’s your worldwide economic collapse going ??

OP wants to nuke Iran before they can pull it off. Seems about as reasonable as your position that they are capable of pulling it off

The fact that it's 2026 and we tryna nuke a place called "pickaxe mountain" because the fate of humanity hangs in the balance should be all the evidence you need that we live in a computer simulation.

For me, it’s the McChicken.

Crispy chicken with a perfect bun and a taste that surprises me every time (in a good way).

GLOBAL pariah? What does that mean exactly? What would "the world" do about it?

As a general on Cats and Cosby's radio show said, the plan is to attrit the IRGC step by step until the three armed resistance groups can take them out.

I'd like to see the resistance groups get lots of Ukraine style drones to put an end to the IRGC.

Never claimed it would happen. Just claimed it could happen.

Which means OP is a child that shouldn't be listened to.

No. I don't know what it will take to help you. I think you're beyond saving.

For the first time in my life I have actually had to think about it. But It is obvious we have not exposed non-nuke tools at our disposal and will not unless we must.

This is the perfect scenario for justifying their use. The sacrifice of a few to save the world from catastrophy.

There are 90 million Iranians. Approximately 1% of the worlds population.

Just a single bomb might force total capitulation.

I think you're right that nuclear weapons are the only route to a win condition to be quite honest.

I just don't think we should do it because it would be disastrous for our credibility with the rest of the world. People would fear the US but fear is not as powerful of a defense as some think it is.
