Reports of internal talk about using tactical nuclear weapons against Iran are drawing outrage, and the near-silence from most political leaders and news outlets is the bigger scandal.

• Internal discussions reportedly floated using tactical nukes in the Iran conflict.
• That flips the stated reason for the war, which was to stop nuclear weapons from being used.
• Israel's influence over the decision is at the center of the anger, along with its history of stealing US nuclear secrets.
• Almost no one in Congress or the major news outlets has pushed back; Marjorie Taylor Greene and Malcolm Nance are rare exceptions.

Outlook: Expect pressure to build on Democratic leaders and big news outlets to say plainly whether they oppose any nuclear strike on Iran.
