Maybe Iran and North Korea want more than economic integration
"As part of this effort, the United States seeks to bolster the nuclear non-proliferation regime by:
  • Reversing the nuclear ambitions of North Korea and Iran. We have demonstrated that we are prepared to engage multilaterally and bilaterally with these states to arrive at negotiated solutions that provide for their political and economic integration with the international community, while verifiably confirming they are not pursuing nuclear weapons capabilities. However, their continued defiance of international norms and agreements will lead only to their further isolation and increasing international pressure."

Does this proposed integration correspond to the real motivations these two states had for developing a nuclear force? Could it be that deterrence was their real purpose?
