The US never tried to put nukes in Poland
Interceptor missiles are not nuclear.
no where does your article mention Srpint missiles
YOU ARE A PROVEN LIAR
Wrong.
Interceptor missiles are almost ALWAYS nuclear, and in particular these were Sprint ABMs that are notorious for being nuclear.
But the fact the US backed down instead switched Aegis nukes, is irrelevant.

Reformulated Obama administration project
The reformulated project announced most prominently by Vice President Biden in October, 2009, would entail smaller, mobile SM-3 interceptors, to be placed by 2018. The whole of the Obama plan "envisions stationing existing SM-3 interceptors as part of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense on Aegis-equipped ships in the Mediterranean Sea and elsewhere by 2011, and on land in Central Europe by 2015, as part of a European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA). A more advanced system would be deployed by 2018, including to Poland as EPAA phase 3, and a more-advanced generation (EPAA phase 4), theoretically capable of shooting down intercontinental missiles, by 2020."[8][51]Phase 4 was cancelled in March 2013, triggering some speculation that it was a concession promised by Obama to President Medvedev before the 2012 United States presidential election. The allegations of Russian influence over this decision were denied by the Pentagon.[52]
The Aegis land base will still be located near Redzikowo.[53][54] Aegis Ashore for Poland was scheduled to be operational by year-end 2022.[55] However, in August 2022, Vice Admiral Jon A. Hill, director for the Missile Defense Agency, announced that the site is nearing completion and will be ready in 2023. Prior to this announcement, Hill said that US Navy sailors are already living in the facilities.[56] NSF -Redzikowo is to be declared operational on Friday, 15 December 2023, according to the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk.[1]

Clearly the US has always had nukes in Poland, and that is totally unacceptable.
The claim Poland need nukes to defend against Iranian missiles, is just totally absurd.
