I doubt it...Iran has already announced their policy towards Israel. Even a glazed-crater response from the US would be cold comfort to any Israeli survivors.

The strategic utility of nukes is a very complex issue. and the outcome of the '67 war may be more due to this than anything else. It certainly wasn't due to any help from the US; the only US military unit to see action in the 1967 war was USS Liberty.
