#1 A great deal is said by the Iranians scraping to keep the F-14's flying. They use the AN/AWG-9 radars as an AWACs. It's the best thing they've got.
(They ran out of useful Phoenix missiles long ago.)

#2 I think an F-14 could probably carry a nuclear bomb.

The problem for Iran is that they would have to build a device, mount it on the F-14 and not have Israel know about it because the IAF could pretty easily knock it down if they detected the take off.
