If we were to prioritise then surely non-signatory countries who already possess nuclear weapons, like Pakistan or India, would be higher on the list of who to deal with. |
I think the reasoning has to do with Israel. I don't think that Pakistan or India were ever any threat to Israel, only to each other... which is still tragic, but not of significant importance to the USA - at least, not as much as Israel.
Of course, it can be argued whether Iran is really a threat to Israel. But, that is the belief in the halls of power in D.C. and Jeruselum.
