1 is least bad. Maybe not for Iran, but for the world. If Trump re-opens Pandora's box, there is much less to hold back other nuclear powers in similar circumstances. The US has lost some dozen troops in this war, Russia has lost hundreds of thousands in its. Why should Russia restrain themselves if the US president goes mental? Our world becomes much, much more dangerous if Trump becomes unable to control himself.

I think we're well past that point.
It can always get worse. Trump ordering nuclear strikes will make it much worse than it has been been so far, by a large margin
I meant that we are past the point where Trump is in control of himself.
Trump using nukes on Iran would essentially give Putin the green light to do the same in Ukraine. And then all bets are off after that.
