Because they are allies... at least, that's probably their justification.

Iran was also an ally... until 1979. Saddam was another ally... until 1990, et cetera.

Not saying you're wrong, but were the reasons for those alliances failing, because of nukes?

I'd actually feel safer if Iran just got it over with and developed/tested their own nuclear weapons. Then SA would get theirs, along with Egypt and Turkey, and all this low-grade (and brutal, primarily to civilians) nonstop warfare in the middle east would come grinding to a halt as everyone is forced to treat their neighbors with respect.
