I know they've agreed to the NPT. They've also ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC). (Israel has done none of these things.)
If the NPT were ratified globally, and disarmament was something assured, Iran could rest easy. In other words, Iran has little reason to rest easy in regards to nuclear weapons in the Middle East and Asia.
