It did not help though that we set the precedence long ago that we will let a nation be if they have nuclear weapons. We set that pattern, we provided the initiative, and any nation whose policies are antagonistic to the US would be foolish to not pursue nuclear weapons.
Heck, we even blew it with Ukraine. We asked them to turn over their nukes to Russia in exchange of security guarantees, and look how that turned out for them.
The path to de-nuclearize Iran was/has always been through negotiations, obviously, and not through attacking them militarily to prove the whole point that they need nuclear weapons as deterrent against military attacks from Israel and the West.
(I assume we're in agreement. I'm just spelling out my thoughts on this.)
