If only Nixon could go to China, only Obama could nuke Iran. You sort of need the Nobel Peace prize to have enough gravitas to perform such an act.

If he nukes Iran, he deserves another peace prize.

Never happen.

Why would we nuke Iran? We have bunker busters. And we have ICBMs that can act as launch vehicles not just for nukes but for solid depleted uranium warhead as a kinetic energy weapon A 1000KG warhead lands with force close to .12 Kilotons, focused on a small area (.5 meters). A few of those would destroy or crack open the shell of any facility. This isn't an air bursting nuke, but something closer to GPS guided meteors. And then follow with B-1b or B-2 bombers with bunker busters and then perhaps something fun like a themobaric warhead.
