Was he hoping the London Airport plot would succeed and make a difference?
Logically speaking, he has no reason to comply. We basically let you do anything you want, once you have the nuke. India, Pakistan get coddled by us now. North Korea is treated with kid gloves now. Saddam wanted nukes, didn't have them yet, and he got smacked down. Iran will get smacked down too if they don't build nukes first. That is why we must take them out now. We will not engage a nuclear power in a hot war in the current world climate. It's reality.
