Why was there no similar reason for concern with the other 9 non-US builders of rocket and nuclear programs?

Most of the others are democracies. North Korea and Iran are brutal dictatorships. Iran is a theocratic apocalyptic one that has signed the non-proliferation treaty. It has designs for lands outside its territory that it proudly announces. The differences are stark, real, and can lead to the end of the world as we know it. Do you not have any concerns?
