Except it's not that simple.
1) A nuclear bomb in the US or Europe would be globally catastrophic.
2) We would not want to nuke Tehran as we have too many loose allies in that region that would suffer the fallout, not to mention, the immediate retaliation by Tehran. What hurts more? Losing Paris and London (New York/DC) or Tehran and Mashhad.
Iran wins.
Nukes are not a backyard brawl with punch and counterpunch. There will be one or there will be total annihilation.
