A bit of interesting trivia.....
Iran was the second Islamic country (after Turkey) to recognize Israel as a sovereign state. Relations between the 2 countries were rather good, especially during the Pahlavi regime of the Shah.
However, after the Iranian revolution and as Israel annexed most of Palestine, the relationship worsened.
Now, open;y, Israel (the Mossad, mostly) has declared Iran its arch enemy....and,likewise, Ahmedinejad retaliated in calling Israel the "Satan" of that region.
Given the readily confirmed fact that Israel is one of the 9 countries that have nukes, a bit of objectivity would dictate that Iran's wish to also have a nuclear arsenal is "understandable" if HIGHLY dangerous.
Obama offered the world a decade reprieve, hoping that a less radical Iranian regime would take hold and bring some stability within the ME.
As of today, Trump has unilaterally destroyed the possibility of Iran curbing its nuclear ambitions........the world knows this (including NK) .....and only Trump cult members "cheer" this serious setback to sanity.
