Never going to happen. Absolutely no developed nation wants to set a post-WW2 precedent for the aggressive use of nukes. Even ignoring that though, it would just make the situation worse. A lot of ISIS's propaganda revolves around painting the rest of the world as evil, and a nuke (and all the innocent deaths it would likely entail) would be a very effective way of convincing people in the region that they're right.
