Really? I wonder why it didn't end when N Korea developed nukes.
It didn't end then because North Korea did not get away with it. The world cracked down on North Korea with harsh sanctions that will not be lifted until they give up their nukes.
The same could in theory be done with Iran. But the attitude of Russia and China leads me to believe that they will not allow such sanctions to be placed on Iran.

If that signifies some sort of belief in Obama being a pacifist, note that Obama has stated that he will bomb Iran if that is the only way left to derail their nuclear weapons program.
And Obama will be right to do so. Iran is bad news.
