Even if true, don't care. Every country should have nukes. Countries have a natural right to self defense too.
The only worrisome part here is the "US accuses" part; I'm much more concerned with that than the "Iran achieves nukes" part...after all, been there, done that. They "achieve a nuke" pretty much every year...twice in election years.
The US is the only one who has ever used nukes in warfare, offensively or defensively.
Nowadays nukes are more defensive than offensive anyway; their value is that you can't be pushed around, and you can't be nuked yourselves without retaliation.
I have no - or at least very few - concerns with even Islamic countries having the nuke. They're pretty far away, I don't think they could do much anyway, and if they ever try we can deal with that then.
Counterpoint: We have some European frens on this board who are not far away from Islamic countries.
Additional counterpoint, even if a target is missed or far away the fallout lasts decades. "A nuke" isn't the thing people should worry about here, it's the intentionally made dirty bomb.
Maybe those countries should fund their own militaries and deal with it rather than demanding we use ours for it for once then.
