I don't understand. If US, Israel, Pakistan, etc can all have nuclear weapons, why can't Iran?

Pakistan did it secretly. Today I doubt that Pakistan would have been allowed to have nukes. Moreover, just because they have nukes it is huge pain in the ass and that why the US and other countries support Pakistan financially — no one wants collapsing state with nuclear weapons.

If Iran gets nuclear weapons, all big Sunni countries will get them too: Saudis, Qatar, etc. we do not want it to happen, as the next Arab spring can collapse those governments, and you can count on any Muslim radical group getting hands on one of those.

Anyway, there are countries that have nuclear weapons, and this Jinny is out of the bottle. But, it doesn’t mean we want to have more of this crap lying around. We need less.

Because Iran has oil.

I think it has more to do with nukes than oil. North Korea is a good example that once you have nukes, no one can touch you. No one wants more nukes, especially in the hands of IR, in this world.

I have no sympathy for the Iranian regime but the US' unilateral actions are worse. At least the Iranians mind their own business.

At this point, every country which has natural resources which the US might want to steal should have nukes.

> At least the Iranians mind their own business

Except they don’t.

North Korea minds their own business.

Neither Iran nor NK interfere with India. I don't see how they interfere with the US. Last I checked it was the US which has bases in the Middle East.

When Iran builds a base in Mexico or Canada, we can talk.
