Oh, you don't understand anything about the subject. OK

"retaliatory strike" means a nuclear strike launched by country A AFTER country B has already launched against them.

There are nuances regarding escalations, terrorist nukes, and other things, but in general the idea is that the President can't just order a nuclear strike on Iran absent an Iranian strike on the US or its allies, just because the Iranians hurt his little fee fees.
