Seeing Zel tour eu with "don't forget me" along with the war on Iran being a fucking gut punch to the empire, I am looking forward to the next couple of months. I have hope that this will end soon.

Using nukes would just make everything worse tbh. Not only would it ruin the infrastructure they're trying to take control of it would create chaos in the general region and I think would really push people away from the US even harder. I don't that even the bootlickers in Europe would stand by America after something like that. The Gulf States definitely wouldn't since they're right on the border and would be facing the immediate consequences of something as reckless as going full MacArthur. Even domestically I don't see the average Trump supporter backing something like that. The capitalists especially wouldn't benefit from it since the whole reason they're trying to bring Iran down is to take control of their oil in the first place and they can't sell oil if it's all irradiated and the people supposed to be processing/exporting it are sick with rad poisoning.

The only way I see America using nukes is if it feels like the whole project is coming to an end and setting them off as a last-ditch effort to destroy its enemies. Even then it's debatable whether or not troops will follow that order since there's a lot of heads involved in the whole process of just authorizing a strike, never mind physically launching it. Hell, given the state of our military I wouldn't even be surprised if most of our arsenal wasn't even functional.
