The purpose of nuclear response is not to punish Iranian citizens, it's to prevent further casualties by teaching Iran the consequences of their actions.
You would give permission for Iran to nuke 10 cities by not retaliating. If they nuked Tel Aviv, and you as the President of the US did not respond, they would nuke Jerusalem and Haifi and other Israeli cities. And the blood of *those* innocents would be on your hands.
