I think it very doubtful that the State Department would author an agreement with a loophole they couldn't see, but we could, just off the top of our heads. The expectation is that they use the money for their own expansionist dreams and fund the worst people in the world to project their regional power. The chess move is guessing this is the least worst possibility.
Also, one nuke is not a strategy to accomplish anything. You set it off, and then what? That was your last move. Act two, two weeks later, you and your government are wiped off the face of the earth. Two weeks later same goes for the folks who sold it to you.
