Likely, any beginning of a Nuclear War would be the result of a small fanatical nation using one or two limited devices on America or the EU. The immediate result would be many thousands incinerated, and millions affected. Reaction would be swift and overwhelming from the attacked entity most probably leading to the elimination of the aggressor nation by conventional force (+tactical nukes) by the world body as a whole.
I find it somewhat unlikely we, or the EU would use a large scale nuclear attack on Iran or any other rouge nation unless the initial blow they inflicted was absolutely devastating to western influences. One can only hope Humankind is smart enough to avoid an over reaction that would possibly destroy its own future.
