Good idea. But as long the criminal terror state Israel is against it can not happen If Israel who is the most warmongering country in the Middle East and the biggest threat to peace not will return their nuclear weapons then should Iran also have the right to have them. As an insurance against attacks from Israel. Look at North Korea if they didn’t have nuclear weapons USA would have attacked them decades ago.

Better if all nation states that want them have nuclear weapons as deterrent. If Kim and his family can handle these weapons, anybody can. Nuclear weapons have been an excellent insurance against real wars between states, that have them. Only some skirmishes between Pakistan/India/China.

BTW all states should also have nuclear power as protection against OPEC+

What a great idea so rogue actors, accidents, leaks, bad disposal could kill the need for nukes since the world would be people-free.

If the Palestinians, Ukrainians, Iraqis, Syrians, Lebanese, Libyans and Afghanians et c had nuclear weapons many millions who now are dead or severly maimed would have been alive and well. Prof Mearshimer states that if Iran had nukes, Israel would never have started this war.

John Mearsheimer doesn't have the most serene view of international relations. We are now where US/west weapons and warmongering have got us. How many millions injured and dead would have been alive and what better existence for us all if we'd had peace?

If Gaza had nuclear weapons, Israel would never have started the genocide and a hundred thousand children, women and men would still be alive and well

That statement sounds sadly single minded, naive, and without basis in fact. You're talking about Palestine! They would have needed nukes not yet invented when the zionists invaded.
