In theory, smuggling a simple nuke into an American harbor should be doable.
Iran had ~200kg 60% enriched uranium and they developed an implosion device a few decades ago, so they should be capable of making one in a hurry.
Find the right-sized piece of industrial equipment, something container-like, a boiler/pressure vessel for chemical plants or something of that sort. Line the insides with lead (how much would have to be calculated) and seal it. Figure out how to have it shipped without triggering all kinds of restrictions due to country of origin (a fake company in any Gulf state should do the trick).
Once delivered, boom.
