It is inevitable that Iran will get its bomb. Iran saw what a bomb did for North Korea. Iran also saw what happened to Iraq, Libya and Syria without the bomb. A nuke is now a pre-requisite for survival, a very important deterrent.
Whether it is ten nukes or a thousand nukes, makes not much of a difference to deter those who choose provocation, antagonization or outright bullying. I think the South Koreans and Japanese understand what North Korea can do and are not openly too hostile but could not follow, like obedient dogs, when coerce to follow its master, the USA with provocation exercise around the South China Sea, to antagonize China as well.
Now, we are listening to talk of Iran getting its bomb within months. How is that for USA and Israel poking awake a monster with nukes even faster than they thought possible and that is going to give them sleepless nights.

Yes, if they make it themselves, there are plenty of friends to depend on for one from their huge inventory. All you need is one.
If Iran gets the bomb, Saudi Arabia also wants one. How is that going to play out in the Middle East is interesting.
