NK have developed Nukes, too late to do anything now. Ever thought that maybe thats the reason Iran wants Nukes ? To defend itself from invasion

If you have sticks and stones and the person threatening you has guns, would you not seek out guns yourself to protect yourself ? Nukes have been proven to be a great deterent against countries trying to invade a country.

If Iran had no oil then I would certainly understand America and Britain wanting to disarm Iran but Iran happens to have one of the largest oil reserves on the planet.
