4. They Wouldn't Bomb The US

They would bomb Israel. The main reason that Iran was (supposedly) pursuing a nuclear weapon is that the Israelis already (supposedly) had them. That is the problem with nuclear weapons. One side gets them and the others decide that they need them to deter the nuclear country from dropping them. It's called "Mutually Assured Destruction."

Frankly, I would be quite happy if every country - including the US - would step up and ban nuclear weapons, period.
