The easiest way would be to weaken Iran to the point that it is no longer a major player in the Middle East. Maybe the revolution ends up being significantly more chaotic, and Saddam successfully takes and keeps Khuzestan.

Saddam gets the bomb or is at least strong enough to openly pursue it without significant threat of intervention. The threat of that was enough to get Iran and Israel to cooperate.
