If Iran uses a nuke, the US would be within its rights to lay down a pattern over any region of Iran it so chooses. About 500 square miles would be gone. Within the 500 square miles would be about 90% of the Iranian military. It would be over at that point unless an ally of Iran wishes to continue.

Yes, it would be "within its rights" to do so- and I think we should do so- but I'd be willing to bet my $1000 that we don't.
