I don't fully get the gist of this. What's the problem with Irân developing nuclear weapons? France, Rossiya, USA, Israel, Bhārat Gaṇarājya, Zhōngguó among others have all already developed them, so what vetoes Irân to obtain the same? Not acceptable to treat Irân as if it has less rights than other countries.
Especially after half a century of assassinations of scientists, soldiers and politicians and all kind of sabotage, Irân persists and insists and is now near to reach its nuclear goal, in the face of adversaries who in the past employed these same unethical tactics to cause a similar nuclear attempt by Irāq fold. So, respect to them.
I mean, I thought Irân were now in the good guys' camp, with their ongoing military collaborations with Rossiya and what not
Given that all other states possessing nuclear arsenals have never used them, except the USA, I do not see why we have to assume Irân is special and is certainly going to lob nuclear bombs on its enemies as soon as it acquires them.
At the highest level they probably plan their political moves and make forecasts too, you know. Otherwise they would not have been able to be on the cusp of acquiring nuclear power right now.
And I think outside of Israel, al-ʿArabīyah as-Saʿūdīyah, and the US (with only some of its satellites), no one will give two hoots on whether Irân, like Pākistān, manages to get nuclear weapons, or not.
Rossiya would even be happy to see one of its allies becoming a scary threat to Türkiye. And we like Rossiya here, right?
A defense treaty between the US and Israel? That's a weird one. I agree that such a treaty would tie Israel's hands. Furthermore, I think the current government of Israel would be too smart to give up a first strike capability against a hostile foreign power such as Iran. If I'm not mistaken, Trajtenberg was part of the Center-Left Zionist Union so maybe he wants Israel's hands tied a bit to weaken Netanyahu.
In hindsight, maybe it was/is not such a bad idea, though untimely, given lack of US ammo and weapon systems.

The good news is only some of the Mullahs would agree with you. The bad news is that they might use them.

They are not going to use them, because like all the other above-mentioned states they fear the consequences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrHoMSRZOS4

I agree.
Maybe they got the idea from Ukraine, which has recently been talking about 'an Israel model' :-)
