Tu-160 is a nuclear strike capable aircraft but it's primarily used for launching ALCMs at Ukrainian cities yet no one ever describes that as "Putin's nuclear bombers are attacking Ukraine"

the uk, for instance, has alcms that could be nuclearized although that process would most likely take years. you need a smaller warhead, new arming/fuzing/safing systems, integration into british aircraft, and so on. but it is doable

From there, the wheels turn automatically. For Iran, it would not be ICBMs (the idea of officers in silos turning keys) or SLBMs for worry of overflying other countries. The options for something like this are bombs or ALCMs from B-2s or B-52s, respectively. Both take a *lot* of time.

2. China apparently has 600 YJ-63/CJ-20 ALCMs.
Golden Dome assessment says 1000 LACMs, while recent China Military Power says 400 of those are GLCMs and none (today) are SLCMS.
1000 LACMS - 400 GLCMS - 0 SLCMs = 600 ALCMs.

One thing worth bringing up here is that as part of the Cooperative Threat Reduction program, Ukraine gave up its Soviet inheritance of strategic bombers and ALCMs, some of which were sold back to the Russians at very favorable rates, others just scrapped to ease minds in the West.
I guess we totally memory holed the two years where we insisted that letting ATACMS blow up Russian airpower at frontline airbases would cause nuclear war or something which forced Ukraine to invest in long range strike capacity that didn't have western oversight

GIS software measures these containers to be around 7.5m in length. With the GK-120 container being 7.45m in length and the KH-101 being the most common ALCM deployed at Engels, we conclude these are likely containers for KH-101 ALCMs and all were destroyed in the strike.

Europe overall has many suppliers that produce many of the parts required for making ALCMs, from small engine manufacturers to airframe makers, and GNC pproducers. So, the union should allocate funds towards resuming production Taurus & increasing SCALP production.
