CCIP nails it.
But I'd still like to see a non nuclear Iran.

Aye, I can't say I trust them enough, nor others around them to react well to it. It's certainly an unwanted addition to an already volatile area, but equally it's very difficult to keep the nuclear genie in its bottle, after all the basics of nuclear weaponry are available for anyone who has an interest.

To be fair, I'd like to see a non-nuclear everybody, and especially a non-nuclear regime that gets by through managing instability and provoking wars in their neighbourhood (see: Yemen, for example). But I also get a little ticked at "look at that lunatic with WMDs, we have to stop him!" rhetoric, because we've all been had by it once and look where that got us with Iraq.

Well I trust them as much as I do with those who already have the nukes. With the US and RUS it may seem fine now but what with the next guy or the guy after that? It may just take a single guy giving him the right time in a political situation or crisis to have one nation turn around 180º from what it is now. DPRK is something I would worry about, that rotting regime is going on for quite a while and I expect they'll be going for a while but for how much longer without outside help? Even if we don't do anything to speed that up if that collapses I fear what they'll do with the nuclear arsenal they have...they may not strike the world with it but South Korea would wish it wasn't that close to them.

Yeah, the DPRK seems to be going a bit random at the moment, it's probably nothing...but then the last time I said that Putin annexed Crimea, so I have been known to be wrong about such things...
