First time I've seen someone go full out unironically advocating for genocide. Holy stuff you're stupid.

It would be incredibly hard to define a target area to attack however ideally you'd target terrorists. The idea behind nuking the middle-east is that there would be an enormous spike in death that causes an end to the continuous number of deaths over the years.

no, besides the nuclear fallout destroying everything around it like europe, russia and east asia as well the middle east and probably the americas for years, and we don't account for the huge humanitarian issues the world would hold against the nuker and possibly destroy the world economy and stability with that, it would only create a ton more deaths and a whole lot more internal chaos in that region
nuking is not a viable option unless you want to destroy the planet

nukes do not function like magic erasers that you can wipe over a region to solve all of the background ethnic/religious/socioeconomic problems that cause the rise of terror and general instability in the first place unless you absolutely obliterate everything, which isn't on the table for pretty clear reasons

It's a last-resort attempt to end a state of eternal warfare. Again, do not think I advocate for using nuclear weaponry I am simply stating what I think would happen given the mentioned scenarios.

I do not advocate for nuclear weaponry being used in the middle-east, as for what Mega Bear mentioned logically concludes, there would be an incredibly hard time to define a target area. As well, I do agree there would be other ways to deal with the situation.
A.K.A. I have so far been convinced to retract this statement of mine:
