So as long as a nation states it doesn't have WMDs, or that it's not working on Nukes, then who cares what the UN decides, we should take those nations at their word, as long as the people I dont like politically are the most upset

And when, exactly, did the UN vote for the war in Iraq? Because Resolution 1441

US Ambassador to the UN, John Negroponte posted:

contains no "hidden triggers" and no "automaticity" with respect to the use of force. If there is a further Iraqi breach, reported to the Council by UNMOVIC, the IAEA or a Member State, the matter will return to the Council for discussions as required in paragraph 12.

So wait, what are you arguing? That it's ok for Iran to fight for their interests, but not ok for the US to do so?

We should fight for our interests, but we also need to recognize where our interests may conflict with others, and then move to resolve those conflicts in a way that is, ideally, amenable and beneficial to both parties.

Which the Iran deal is.

But somehow I'm guessing that realpolitik isn't your thing.
