For what purpose? To kill a very sizable population of a country? Yes. To completely neutralize the threat of a country? No. Not even close. The cost analysis depends on the point of impact and how much people and infrastructure will be destroyed.Well you only need to flatten cities. But let just say they built only on of tsar Bomba but caster bravo was a 15 megaton explosion that resulted in building a 24 megaton bomb it suffice to say they built hundreds of that bomb. After all it was a cheap bomb a very cheap one compared to it's destructive power
A Tsar bomb dropped on Tehran will kill about two-thirds of the population either directly or due to burns and overexposure to radiation, or long-term side effects like leukemia, etc. However, due to the nature of Iran which is extremely mountainous, and also the characteristics of buildings in Tehran which very commonly use reinforced concrete, the northern provinces of Iran, Karaj, Pardis, and other nearby cities will not be affected as much as if the area were flat. And these are important cities on their own. Then there's Isfahan, Tabriz, Shiraz, Ahvaz, etc. Some of our cities cannot be nuked because nuking them will threaten global energy security.
Israel, on the other hand, is flat and small. It plays a negligible role in global energy security. Infrastructure and population density are extremely high in few places. A 1-megatonne nuke can literally wipe out a huge portion of their cities and vital infrastructure. Just 3 really strong nukes can completely wipe Israel off the map. They know it very well too.
