>Ignoring countries that obviously flaunt it, NK & Iran

When has Iran flaunted it? Three countries have made tests ignoring the treaty. North Korea, India, and Pakistan, all non-signatory states.

Also one of: France, Israel, and or South Africa [0], of whom the latter two were signatories to the 1963 agreement.

I should have specified the 96 treaty, as both the USSR and USA have violated the 1963 agreement as well. Still no violations by Iran though.

Iran doesn't have the nuclear bomb, as far as we know (?)

Iran has never really had much of an active nuclear weapons program, despite the media coverage. That's why I object to claims they violated testing treaties.
