Why should it be that USA, Israel can have nuclear bombs but Iran is prohibited from doing so?

Cos Iran is mad yo

Because Israel is scared that Iran will bomb them, (iran only need 4 bombs to eradicate them all) so they need back up (the us) to ensure they dont have any nuclear.

Because most countries think that the amount of nuclear weapons on earth is sufficient and as they are so dangerous and have nearly no positive effect (it would not help the Iranians at all), no one is willingly supporting Iran, especially someone as Ahmadinechad. They are also countries on the world, who agreed on not having nuclear weapons voluntarily, so it really isn't just a US vs Iran issue.

Because Iran is run by people who believe they have a religious duty to eradicate the state of Israel, and purge the earth of Jews

When it comes to apocalyptic weapons, what is 'fair' doesn't matter. It's pretty mad to say 'it's unfair for us to have them if they can't have them - let them have some'.

It is in Iran's interests to have nuclear weapons. But Iran having nuclear weapons is against the interests of the US, the West, most of the Middle East and Israel. So if these countries can stop Iran having nuclear bombs, of course they will.

We can all name the reasons why Iran's government, objectively, shouldn't have the weapons (aggressive government whose foreign policies suggest they would threaten nuclear attacks to further even small agendas, the risk of them fulfilling their desire to wipe Israel off the map, the idea of an extremist fundamentalist religious organisation holding nuclear weapons, the fact that Iran funds and arms Hezbollah, a terrorist organisation, the fact that it would hugely destabilise the Middle East, the fact that a war would break out if they got close to a bomb as Israel would attack) - but all that really matters is that we don't want them to have them so we won't let them have them. The only thing that matters in international politics is who has power and who doesn't - talk of fairness and decency are always just smokescreens to hide countries' real agendas.

Because Iran signed the nuclear non proliferation treaty and said it wouldn't......and then chose to develop them.

Simply they signed a nuclear non-proliferation treaty, making it illegal for them to obtain such weapons

A Zionist is someone who believe that Israel has the right to exist, if someone came out and said that the Earth should be purged of anyone who thinks Pakistan should exist, you would go nuts.

Assad / Syria neither signed nor ratified treaty for Chemical weapons Convention, the world still went nuts.

Iran can withdraw from NPT (North Korea).

Iran can also argue that NPT was signed by Shah and not by The Islamic Republic of Iran.

"Iran Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says Tehran expects the six major world powers to “respect” its right to enrich uranium based on the regulations of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

Press TV I feel dirty all over...

Anyway if Iran is going to quote and want to exercise its rights under the treaty then it must respect its obligations too. Iran itself clearly believes the treaty to be legal and valid regardless of who signed it.

That's like asking 'why aren't serial offending savages allowed shotguns?'

I didn't say Iran is bringing the validity of the Treaty into action, I'm saying that NPT could not be the sole reason.

Pls attach links to the detailed agreement Iran had at Geneva last year.
