In the US? I don't think people would give a shit honestly. The libs might have a big protest, that's it

Edit: for like a tactical nuke on the buried facility or sth. Obviously if they nuked Tehran it would be something else entirely but I don't see the need or the reason to do that.

tactical nuke

Total meme category. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were "strategic" bombings using "tactical" yields according to post-war terminology.

Sure but there's a big difference from dropping a small yield (relatively obviously this is all demonic and awful) device on an isolated military target vs a high yield device on a population center which is what people envision as "nuking"
