Does Iran have he right to obtain nuclear weapons as Israel does?

Israel is a lot less likely to be firing off nuclear weapons at their enemy-of-the-week than Iran is.  But who has the right to develope them and who doesn't - I don't know.   The US and the UN want to be the Police of the World, and that seems to cause more problems than it solves.

Iran is a member of the United Nations and a signatory of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and is not suppose to be developing nuclear weapons.  Although Iran has been stating that they only want peace use of atomic energy, their position is highly suspect, if for no other reason than the fact that Russia offered to provide the atomic fuel they needed for such peaceful use and Iran turned that offer down.  \n\nBeyond that reality, no nation with nuclear weapons wants such weapons to spread to other countries.  This is particularly true of countries that have unstable and radical governments.  It isn’t a matter of a country’s right to tell them they can’t have such weapons, but a matter of realistic defense.

They would sell some to terrorist and use the others on Israel. Israel would respond and nuke Iran back into the Ice Age. Just considering Israel has a ton of nukes by now and have Patriot missles to get the nukes coming in.

Will Israel Strike Iran? I f they feel threatened enough, Yes. They have never  been one to wait and see. Will they use the Nuclears? Not unless they are hit with Nuclears first. Israel has had Nuclear Capability since the 70s.\nWill Iran strike with Nuclears?  No,because they then would be a target for retaliation from the U.S.\n\nWho is the threat ? North Korea, their economy is in the tank,  Their leader  is delusional and wants to rule the world. Their leader doesn't seem to care whether  the populace lives or dies.     What have they got to lose?

Sure.As long as other countries have the right to nuclear energy,so should Iran.If the Iranian nuclear program is a threaten then so is USA's program and of all the other countries who use nuclear energy.

This is one of the things that is such as problem. Israel and Iran and other countries primarily get their material from within their boarders so they dont have anyrestrictions, this is one of the reasons that the United States is so scared about theocracies such as Iran could do to us.

If that were the case does it give India, Pakistan, Isreal and all the other nuclear powers the right to attack us because we have nuclear weapons - I think not.\n\nAnd who are we to dictate to other countries whether they should have nuclear weapons or not.  We expect the world to accept that it's OK for us to have weapons but then have the hypocricy to condemn other countries who acquire or want to acquire them.\n\nTo my mind it would be much better if no-one had them.

you don't understand the situation. US believes Iran will use it's nuclear technology to build nuclear weapons. Iran is using it for energy and Iran is allowing UN to inspect it's nuclear facilities. Only why there is a controversy is because US believes Iran will attack Israel with nuclear weapons and US is putting on the pressure to make sure Iran does not have any nuclear weapons.

Iran has right to have nuclear peaceful power stations and research on atomic energy.\n\nThe world has some facilities to achieve out facts, such as "United Nation" and "International Atomic Energy Agancy".\nSo Iran lets them to do a lot of researches about its ability and goals.\n"IAEA" inspectors have done a lot of inspects in all of places where they wants, even military stations.\n\n> Iran is one of "IAEA" members for a long time (about 30 years) and always observe all of international rules, So Iran has certain right to do research on atomic technology and make some nuclear power stations depend on "IAEA" rules for research and produce electricity.\n\n>> Iran can't trust to other countries for giving it nuclear fuels. In the past they didn't faithful in their promise and agreements. North Korea is an example. They promise them to give them light-water power station and fuel but they (US and Western countries) didn't do it. Thus Iran can't trust to unfaithful countries.\n\n>>> In the other hand, Israel has more than 250 nukes and this country is a dangerous threating for its neighbours continuously.\nIsrael isn't one of members of "IAEA" and inspectors can't inspect Israel.\n--> Remember "Dimona" and that technician "Vanono", It is just one of secret places which Israel has.\n\nActually, Israel and US are big threats for all of independent countries on the whole of world.

Yes, they do.  But Iran claims it is for generating electricity.  If they had no oil and needed power generation, they would have all the rights to do it.  Problem is that they have millions of barrels of oil and reserves.

As a signer to the nuclear NPT, Iran has the RIGHT to enrich uranium for power plant fuel. As the CIA and IAEA documents have stated over and over- time after time, there is ZERO evidence that Iran is even seeking weapons. The only people who say they are is BushCo (the people most interested in manufacturing a reason to invade and steal their oil). Bush is counting on Americans not knowing the difference between "weapons" grade and "fuel" grade uranium enrichment (TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THINGS). The IAEA and CIA both know that IRAN is complying with the NPT. War mongering Bush is desperately making up outrageous reasons to invade...and I wouldn't put a FALSE FLAG OPERATION past him.\n\nInteresting fact: Israel isn't a signer of the NPT yet has an assload of nuclear bombs.....hmmmm.

If its peaceful, then they have the right, if it is for weapons, why can the US have it and not Iran? AND DON'T GIVE ME THE WHOLE YOU CAN'T TRUST THEM BS!!

Nuclear power is not the issue.  Nuclear bombs are the issue. The president of Iran has said he wants to wipe out Israel, which is fine with me, but I doubt if Israel is going to just sit there and let itself be wiped out.  You can bet that Israel has plans to launch a strike on Iran and you can bet the US has a plan drawn up to invade, which is fine also. But I think that if the US launches an attack it should not necessarily be the same way as in Iraq with the goal of regime change.  The US should simply blow up all Iran's nuclear facilities and leave them totally disintegrated with absolutely nothing left but a big hole in the ground; if this means using nuclear weapons then fine.  Just blow the place up and leave it at that, and let the Iranians deal with the mess.  If they try to rebuild it, blow it up again, and so on forever.  Muslims are a very dangerous threat to mankind and should not be allowed to get a nuclear weapon, because they will come up with all this Allah jihad holy bullshit as justification to use it, which is all a crock of baloney anyway.

Ever heard of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, you know, the one that Iran signed which gave the UN Atamic Watchdog the right to examine all nuclear programmes in their country in order to make sure that they were for peaceful purposes?\n\nSee- Israel never signed that treaty- meaning that the UN/US/Eu or anybody else has ZERO rights to investigate or examine their nuclear programme. On top of that, Israel didn't "aquire" its nuclear weapons anywhere.  They developed the technology themselves, they enriched the uranium themselves, using a power station that everyone new about (but which was larger than anybody knew under Mordechai Vanunu committed treason and told the world).\n\nAnd in the 30 odd years that Israel has had nuclear weaponry- it has never threatened their use, never used them at all, and in fact tried to keep their presence secret- they weren't going to even tell the world about them except that a traitor told the world about them.  IN stark contrast to a dictator in Korea who thinks it is somehow cool...\n\nAnd bope- Israel doe snot deliberately kill any civilians- the vast majority of Palestinians casualties are as a result fo terrorists using them as hostages- hiding amongst them, staging attacks from their homes and so on.  You want to stop Palestinains suffering- their is a very simple solution:  Get them to renounce terror and to negotiate in good faith.  Egypt did- and they got back the SInai Peninsula and Taba beach- and has great relationships with Israel today.  Jordan did- and they also got backsome territory, plsu they have had enormous economic benefit since they act as a gateway for Israeli goods into the ME- relabelling Israeli goods as having originated in Jordan so as to get past the Arab League boycott of Israel.\n\nAnd guess what- Israel is n;t occupying their country- you can blame Egypt/Jordan/Lebanon/Syria/ Iran for tryiong to destroy Israel when it was created in 1948 for starting the war that resukted in ariund 400-600 thousand Palestinian refugees, and close to a million Jewish refugees- and you can blame Egypt and Jordan for occupying their country between 1948 and 1967, and for building the refugee camps for them instead of granting them land and making them citizens.  And you can blame the stunting of their growth to the terrorists who refuse to renounce violence and thus prevent a peaceful resolution- and the PA for stealing so much of the Aid money sent to it- and thus leaving their people in a poverty stricken, gutted country and so desperate for change they would even vote for a group of terrorists just to get rid of the corrupt politicians they had!
