> The irony being that Iran must get nukes now. It is readily apparent they cannot defend themselves conventionally

If Iran is willing to use its nuclear weapons in response to this (limited, conventional air strikes), then that's a clear demonstration they aren't rational actors and can't be trusted with nuclear weapons.



Why does the US not use conventional means to remove the Kim dictatorship?

Perceptions of trustworthiness and rationality are orthogonal to a nation's incentives to acquire nukes.
