Geo-strategic irony: Because everyone has a secret nuke lying around, nobody engages in conflicts any more- thus the usual social tension valve beeing unused, leading to civil wars instead of the conventional wars.

TL,DR; Iran vs SaudiArabia turns with nukes into, Iran <-> Iran and SaudiArabia vs SaudiArabia.

Short term gain is long term pain.

Not sure about that - there are at least two Iran vs. Saudi proxy wars being fought in Yemen and Syria.
