See from Wiki:
"Rupture with France
When Charles de Gaulle became French President in late 1958 he wanted to end French–Israeli nuclear cooperation, and said that he would not supply Israel with uranium unless the plant was opened to international inspectors, declared peaceful, and no plutonium was reprocessed.[32] Through an extended series of negotiations, Shimon Peres finally reached a compromise with Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville over two years later, in which French companies would be able to continue to fulfill their contract obligations and Israel would declare the project peaceful.[33] Due to this, French assistance did not end until 1966.[34]"

But nevertheless, clear evidence of the Israeli nuclear weapons program did not emerge until after the French left.

The two most highlighted reasons, which I think doesn't allows Iran to have the bomb are -
1. Nobody trusts the Iranian Mullah Regime.
2. Iran could, but never left the NPT and hence the signatory obligations must be respected.
We may go round and round on the theories and ideological concepts, but out in the real world, its simply a "no go" for Iranian nukes.sigpicAnd on the sixth day, God created the Field Artillery...

Iran signed the NPT and abused the NPT to get nukes. At no stage did Israel nor China got a working blueprint. They had to start from scratch. Iran clearly got two sets, Chinese and Pakistani.
That being said, note that I did not include Israel into this argument, only Iran. If Iran wants to go the route of leaving the NPT. Hell, I would wish them well and have a nice time building nukes ... after they start building spare parts that the NSG will no longer sell them.
