As you probably know, Israel and Pakistan possess nuclear weapons. And as I have mentioned before, Saudi Arabia appears to have a nuclear weapons development program (possibly assisted by Israel):

Now there is evidence Turkey also wants nukes:
When last year, Recep Tayyip Erdogan President of Turkey spoke in favour of producing nuclear weapons at a party convention, the US media pointed out the possibility of Turkey having a nuclear bomb project. The Pak-Turkey clandestine collaboration in nuclear and missile fields appears to be growing very fast. The role appears to have been reversed. While earlier Turkish companies were importing material from Europe and providing them to Pakistan, now Pak is illegally importing nuclear related material from China for Turkey.

Our focus on Iran, to the exclusion of these other states, is a big mistake. And it comes on the heels of a gigantic mistake - allowing Israel to obtain nuclear weapons in the first place.
The only way for this to stop is for ALL nuclear weapons to be banned. The likelihood of that happening is near zero, so it's very likely there is a nuclear war in our future.
