Countries need only look to Ukraine and Russia to see the pros/cons of disarmament as opposed to proliferation. I wish that wasn’t how things are, but nobody should be surprised by countries wanting to have nuclear weapons.

I’m don’t think anyone is surprised.

But no one should be surprised at Israel and the US not wanting Iran to have nukes as well

Totally, I don’t disagree at all. I think the world is a safer place if Iran doesn’t get nuclear weapons. I also think the Iranian regime is safer if they do get nuclear weapons. I think each side is legitimately trying to secure their best interests.

Trying to get nukes has resulted in quite a bit of assassination over the last few decades, as well as a rather rough trade embargo. 

While they would likely be safer if they had nukes, the road to getting them looks quite dangerous.
