You are putting the carriage in front of the horse. It is Iran (probably with encouragement from Russia) that makes aggressive declarations about its nuclear program every time the price of crude starts to fall.
You imply that we should permit countries that call for our destruction--mostly as a means of getting their populace to forget their own suffering--to acquire offensive nuclear capabilities.
I'm sure if we just ignore them, they won't do anything bad to us. Better yet, we could try to negotiate. It's always good to make promises and send money to parties that have no intention of living up to any agreements they make.
