Why does the Internation Community think they can tell another country they can't have nuclear weapons?

I totally agree.  I'm in Iraq right now, and I really don't wanna be shipped out to Iran over some dreamed up threat.  The only reason these terrorists attack us is because we can't keep our nose out of other countries business.  If we hadn't been in Saudi Arabia than Al Queda wouldn't have been all upset with us.  I don't see why we can't find another means for fuel other than relying on our enemies.  It doesn't make any sense.  Wait yes it does, everyone in Washington is rich because of oil!  They don't wanna see it go.  \n\nThe U.S. dropped the biggest bombs in history, not Iran.  So why exactly are we allowed to have nukes?  Because we'll use them "responsibly" I guess.  Haha, what a joke!   (oh, and Roosevelt knew about and could have prevented Pearl Harbor.  So don't act like that was justified.)

I totally agree with you. Why can the US have nuclear bombs and wmd and we do have them. Why cant other countries. Its none of our business. Read the constitution we are not to go to war with any other country unless that country attacks us. But what do we do we invade countries that have disputes with other countries and stick our big fat noses into everything. No wonder America is a HATED country.

I think it's intuitive that more countries with nukes is something that should be discouraged by the world community, but the countries that already have them don’t want to get rid of them unless its mutual as with Russia and the US over the past decade.  I also think it’s a matter of the stability of the countries that now may obtain nuclear weapons.  Russia and China are downright stable compared to Iran and N Korea.

The current five permanent members of the Security Council are the only nations recognized as possessing nuclear weapons under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, although it lacks universal validity, as some nuclear nations have not signed the treaty. This nuclear status is not the result of their Security Council membership, though it is sometimes used as a modern-day justification for their continued presence on the body. India, Pakistan, North Korea, and possibly Israel (though Israel has never itself admitted to nuclear weapons possession) possess nuclear weapons outside of the anti-proliferation framework established by the Treaty. In 2004, four of the five permanent members were also the world's top four weapons exporters when measured by arms value; China was seventh.\nEach permanent member state has veto powers, which can be used to void any resolution. A single veto from a permanent member outweighs any majority. This is not technically a veto, rather just a "nay" vote; however any "nay" vote from a permanent member would block the passage of the resolution in question.

The US does not ban other countries from nuclear power if we know that the country will not use their power for evil use. Like nuking other countries for no reason.

Look we're the only superpower. We have nukes as a deterrent. Would we use them? Sure if we needed to, but that would be a last resort. As to Israel, they are our ally and Thus we let them keep nukes as a deterrent. It is one way for Ismael to ensure not being over run by its enemies in the middle east. Why can't Iran have nukes? North Korea? Because we said so that's why. (Please refer to first sentence.)

If they do have nuclear weapons the answer is North Korea. They seem the most willing to use them.

Tfhe US government does not want any new nations to have nuclear capabilities.  Especially ones that are agressive and terroristic.  I say this because the Iran Government has already stated that Isreal has no right to exist and needs to be eradicated.

US is afraid. Basically, the US is a big bully that likes to butt into other people's buisness. They ensure that no one in the world has the same nuclear weapons as they do. If they suspect that you may be attempting to invent weapons... they will attack you. Simple as that. They are afraid that someone will get a bigger military...or have better weapons and defeat them. \n\nThey like to keep people scared so that they can get better deals. If you had an oil well and the US set a military base right outside it and woudln't let your oil pass unless you agreed with all their terms and conditions...what would they be??? This is ACTUALLY happening.

They can leave, but other countries may or may not admit them.

A country like Iran that has pursued nuclear weapons and long-range rockets and has vowed to destroy a Democracy (Israel) should not be trusted, noteven with materials that could be used to further their nefarious aims.  Would they even hesitate to supply such weapons to terriorists?  Do you want to take that chance?  Just having nuclear WMD would allow them to intimidate their neighbors.  No one would dare try to stop them from equipping even more suicide bombers or organizing the powers on earth that have no regard for innocent human life, including yours.

The rest of the world is willing to let Iran have nuclear power; that's not the problem.  The problem is that Iran has proven itself to be a rogue nation that produces and harbors terrorists.  The blatant hatred that Iran has for anything Western is reason enough to doubt its motives when it comes to the development of nuclear energy.  As I said, the rest of the world is willing to allow Iran to have nuclear power, provided that it is willing to allow UN inspectors access to verify that Iran's motives and capabilities are peaceful.  Iran is unwilling to allow this. That's why the rest of the world is skeptical of Iran.

The Nuclear Club is a term given to countries possessing nuclear weapons.\n\nThe major powers, USA, Russia, China, UK want this club to remain exclusive.  That's why these powers get upset when countries like India, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran and N. Korea try to obtain them.

once a country gets the bomb, that is it. they have fully deterence against anyone including US. that is why it is important that we work diplomatically with the international community and not allow them to have it.

Be real.  It's not just the US concerned about it, it's pretty much the rest of the world.  Iran cannot be trusted with it and that's that, their government is always unstable and you don't know who'll be controlling the nukes next year.

well obviously you know that one isotope is weapons grade and one is not.  the iranians want the isotope that can be dismantled into nuclear weapons because thats what they plan on doing with it...  the United Nations offered to give them the alternative nulcear energy isotope plant but they refuse... they want the weapons grade, wonder why?

Where does it say we have a right to tell another country what they can or can not have? \nThe only right we have and should do is tell them what we'll do to them if they use that weapon on us or any of our interests. Then follow though without hesitation or a blink of an eye if they do. Simple as that.
