We could wipe Iran off the map (I use that phrase ironically) without poisoning the Middle East for a half a century.
Should the highly improbable happened and Iran nukes Israel (thus irradiating the area where they want the Palestinians to live), the UN would move into Israel to help with the cleanup and a coalition of Western nations would bomb Iran into oblivion and then invade to clean up what was left. Dropping nuclear weapons on Iran would likely irradiate areas where Iran has a lot of military, like the Caspian, Persian Gulf, Turkey (our ally), and possibly even the UAE (our ally).
