I tend to doubt any government pronouncements by default, so it really doesn't matter which one you believe. The thing to remember is that any nation which even tries to launch a nuclear attack is liable to be nuked back to the stone age by any number of other nuclear powers, and it's unlikely that anyone would complain too loudly. And if they sell the bombs to terrorists they risk similar sanctions. It's relatively easy to determine where the material for a nuclear weapon came from (compared to actually making a bomb, that is.)
