OT So what. At least they've signed the non-proliferation treaty. That is in a sense worse. It means their violating the treaty. If the didn't sign it there would be no violation.

Not so easy unfortunately. Iran also fears Pakistan and (less so) India, both of which are arming to the teeth with nukes. The US could leave the region and still Iran would have legitimate fears of its neighbors. Whether Iran intends to make nuclear arms or not, the fact is that it would make sense for it to have them. Otherwise it's left in a very exposed position. With the spread of nukes, it increasingly makes sense for more countries to get them (thus increasing the spread of nukes). A classic feedback loop. This isn't going to end well.
