If you don't put the lid on properly.

Mostly because everyone else has bigger and better ones.
In reality, if Iran lauched a nuclear strike it would probably be taken out by missile defence systems elsewhere. There would be fallout but not world-destroying. on the other hand, if the US, say, decided to retaiate, there might not be much left of Iran.

Hahahaha. Missile defence system. That's priceless.
Stopping a supersonic nuke?

Iranian nuclear delivery would almost certainly be based on something Scud-like, surely?
I don't recall there being much of a problem taking them out.

They don't work that well. The accuracy is appalling.
If it's supersonic you've got no chance.

I beg to differ
apart from a few occasions AEGIS has proved to work against Cruise, SR, LR and ICBM. It's even been used against the atmospheric kill vehicle thingys (can't remember the names).

Edit: MIRVs
