They could launch missiles at a few major cities in the US from ships in international waters. If they just succeeded in taking out New York America take decades to recover. Look what happen as the result of just the twin towers being hit. Imagine millions with radiation to contend with and the industrial centers contaminated.
I'm not sure that America would respond with nuclear weapons as well. For one thing it would probably effect neighboring allies and either way it wouldn't change the situation they were in.

Wow, that's quite the scenario. A thousand monkey-Ian Flemings typing on a thousand typewriters couldn't come up with that one in a thousand years.
