[Irans nuclear program would be a tough hard target requiring a large, high risk investment.]
The JASSM-ER has a range of almost 600 miles. At $1.2m a pop, it’s not cheap. But a nuclear program is the classic definition of a high value target. It’s one of the few targets in recent years where the dollar value of the target exceeds that of the ordnance. We’d also find out, in a real life setting whether the S-400 can do anything to JASSM’s.

Take out the electrical grid which is most easy and all those centrifuges are useless.
