      People from a country that has been victim to WMDs in the past 20ish years is going to have a different view on nukes than somebody in the imperialist core. They want to develop nuclear energy technology to move away from oil dependency, the only way to do that currently is play ball with the Muricans.

        That was not the case for China, the DPRK, India, and Pakistan. This isn't an "imperialist core" vs "imperialized country" issue.

        Iran is a religious dictatorship, and the Ayatollah has issued a fatwa against nuclear weapons for religious reasons.
