Soviet Union or Russia never had any interest to equip any of these countries with nuclear weapons
Soviet/ Russian Chinese relations are far from being good since the take over in China in 1949, escalated in the Ussuri conflict, when Soviet Union made three divisions of the Chinese army practically disappear from the face of Earth - something not spoken about..
Iraq was active in their nuclear program, they say it was a coincidence this was uncovered during the Desert Storm operation and destroyed.
It takes a lot of time to distill the plutonium so you can apply it for the chain reaction that's required too work with a fully functional atom bomb, the way Iraq used to do so (I guess 8 years if I remember well). The development was never finished.
Interesting question worth some research though.
India, Pakistan, North Korea, Iran
Whole lot of shaking going on in this region
