The fact that experts concluded that a tactical nuke would do the job doesn't imply that they are considering using it. I don't like the US administration, but this is wildly overblowing statements and pure fearmongering.

At this point I’m alright with a nuclear apocalypse, we had it coming. I just hope I’m close enough to a blast sight to not have to deal with the aftermath.
"Considers". Fake news. They want the price of oil and gas to go up to please Putin.
Ya know, I can’t hate this take.
The fact is that conventional bombs can't eliminate all the underground and mountainous facilities. This requires either a large ground invasion and occupation, at a very high cost, or nuclear weapons.
A ground invasion can't happen for a number of reasons and Israel and the U.S. can't allow Iran to continue having a nuclear program means that they will see no other choice but to use tactical nukes.
What about MOP?
What about stuxnet? But i guess no-one involved is looking for non violent solutions.
My point was that the "nuclear bomb is viable vs. other weapons" argument is wrong. MOP is a missile that seems to be specifically crafted for such purposes.
So we'll have a war of aggression with Iran for? We don't like them? Israel has committed more violations of national borders and laws. The KoSA and Egypt's citizens were involved in 9-11 and they are "allies".
Maybe they've got Saddam's missing WMDs. . .
All that freshly baked yellow cake
Yeah but israel is our colonial outpost in the middle east, they can do whatever they want
9/11 killed a lot of Americans, ice kills Americans, do you see the pattern here, Jimmy?
If any other country did the things Israel has done, we'd be sanctioning them at a minimum. We invaded Iraq both times for less.
Hell we made up lies about Iraq
This time we are past the need for that. It will all be everchanging bullshit from here on out with the us.
I'll wait for the US to demand that Israel destroy its nuclear weapons...this may take a while...
Fine, start a nuclear war. It's the waiting I can't stand.
"We want to stop nuclear proliferation by starting a nuclear war." - these fucking geniuses, apparently
Hey, you can't deny the world will have a lot fewer nuclear weapons in it afterwards!
WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones.
“Art of the Deal”. Always start “negotiations” with a threat to go nuclear, then brag and posture and bully. Deal
You forgot the part where you Chicken out and go back on everything so you lose on both sides... No one ever sees it coming
Now it's crystal clear how this absolute idiot bankrupt a casino
