As scary as it may be, the western world was going batty when the USSR acquired nuclear power as well. They are probably just as scared of the americans as we are of them.

I don't think they're scared of the Americans in a 'nuclear' sense. Same thing with Israel, else all those nations/groups that oppose Israel wouldn't be so outright in their cause.
Its hard to say; when you have a leader that calls for Israel to be taken from the map, and in the meantime is trying to develop nuclear weapons, what kind of leverage do you give him?
