Basicly it comes down to this..., Hypocracy. (we can, but they shouldn't own?)
Countries like that want nukes to make sure no other country will attack them, this worked for India and Pakistan too so why wouldn't it work for Iran and North Korea? (who have legitimate fears of a US attack BTW, officialy North Korea is still at war with the US so...)
Don't get me wrong, I trust neither of those two governements but this is simply their reality and their country they want to defend (or defend their personal power, choose your poison)
About them being freaked enough to launch one... well... It would also mean their own destruction so it's unlikely they will use it unless they are attacked... (!)
There's only one country on the globe that ever actualy used one before and we all know it wasn't russia don't we? I'm still surprised PPL defend using those ones to be hounest, afterall the Japs did agree to surrender before they were dropped, little detail... they only wanted to surrender if the emporer could stay on... well... Today we also know he didn't have to leave after the war was over so what was the point in dropping those again? testing? revenge for Pearl Harbor?
Bottom line, don't worry about it too much since North Korea also knows that using them would mean their own destruction, same goes for Iran. That principle worked in the cold war, that principle has been working between India and Pakistan and it should also work here.
