No, but for other reasons that have to do with national sovereignty and development.

For example, compare Iran with other Middle Eastern neighbors like Iraq and Syria, and you can't fault them for wanting to build nukes too. Because a foreign power could choose to invade and thus destabilize them.

You also have to remember that Germany was always a NATO ally. There was never that fear in the back of German heads if they were going to go through another civil war again or lose out on aid from the most powerful country.

Iran isn't threatened by Iraq or Syria. In fact they support Iran right now.
