In this case I believe MTG, we are headed for a nuclear war… and if and when the US drops a nuclear bomb on Iran, it is highly likely russia will respond by dropping a nuclear bomb on Ukraine in my opinion.
See this article from the Bulletin Of The Atomic for somebody else other than batshit crazy MTG warning that the US or Israel using nuclear weapons on Iran is a very real possibility.

It’s pretty frustrating that this wacky cunt gets to be the voice of reason after helping to build the MAGA house of lies, but here we are.
If the United States used even a smaller “tactical” nuclear weapon in Iran, beyond crushing humanity with an act of unspeakable evil that the world would become obliged to somehow mitigate, it would instantly plunge us into a dark period which in which the use of nuclear arms in conventional conflict becomes acceptable. It would become almost impossible to prevent sharp escalations into fully regional or global nuclear war.
The threat of ubiquitous nuclear annihilation from the Cold War has not gone away. There are more than enough planetary-scale weapons and delivery systems to destroy every city in the world of significant size or population, and render most of the earth uninhabitable for thousands of years.
The effects of these weapons cannot be understated, and there are people now high up in the US nuclear chain of command who are either too stupid or too crazy to fully grasp the implications of their use.
What scares me the most is these people understand one thing very well, if they drop a nuclear bomb on Iran it will obliterate any previous nuance to this war and make their political lives far easier, it will also help Putin by giving him effective permission to use a nuclear weapon on Ukraine, and Putin is Trump’s daddy.
It would almost certainly trigger extreme sanctions against the US by most of the world. Iran’s demands for regime change in the US would become the world’s demands.
I suspect Putin would use it to negotiate and get a good deal to end the Ukraine war.
