So the reason to make an exception to the Non-Proliferation Treaty just for the giant tyrannical fundamentalist state is, what, because otherwise they might get insecure and anxious?

OK, they never signed up to it, but still.

Are you referring to Israel here, who stole the recipe from their closest 'ally' and has made not one or two but hundreds of nukes outside of the NPT?
AFAIK the recipe was given to them by the French.
Allegedly.
We made an exception for Israel, India, Pakistan, and North Korea.
North Korea left the NPT, Israel never signed it.
The prior government did sign it and there’s very good reason to hold successor states to the treaties signed before they existed.
What about the agreement to protect Ukraine if they gave up the nuclear weapons?

Trusting the US or any agreement with it would be foolish.

the NPT is a joke. the only "authorized" nukes are the ones you can keep
