It's hard to be certain how robust our missile defenses are, since some of that tech is probably highly classified. But if you're going off of what's been published, we can expect maybe 50% efficacy from our current defenses. Meaning if someone with a good arsenal wanted to nuke us, they would still be able to.

Hopefully the US experiences similarly favorable results.

The US gave them iron dome.
We have even better results than that because our defense systems are more advanced than what we gave Israel.
