The number one reason for nuclear proliferation is fear of attack from an existing nuclear nation. Iran fears Israel because it has nukes, has made first strikes in past and has threatened nuclear attack. Iran and North Korea fear the USA for the same reason. If we are serious about preventing nuclear proliferation, the number one priority has to be reducing the arsenals of the existing nuclear states.
