No chance. A nuclear strike on Iran won't achieve anything that a large number of conventional strikes would.

My real question is not whether it would achieve anything meaningful, but what would be the side effects of such a strike on allies in the region.
I don't have a remotely decent mental model of fallout etc from modern nuclear weapons - my assumptions are they're still toxic enough to be a bloody terrible idea anywhere near someone you like.
You're assuming the current president operates on rationale. He simply would love to be the guy who uses a tactical nuke.
How much would you wager? It's easy to to say what you're saying because it's popular.
If you watch action and not social media bs, the probability is close to 0%.
The shock and awe from a nuclear strike is unmatched
