The United States has the right to determine if

Iran is allowed to develop nuclear weapons

Thesis Statement

Countries with huge stockpiles of nuclear , biological and chemical weapons have no moral authority to tell any country not to develop nuclear weapons . An international movement to eliminate these weapons from the face of the earth will eliminate this danger from the world

Statement 1

In my opinion nuclear weapons pose a major threat to the world and no country in the world should be allowed to develop nuclear weapons Unfortunately the

way Non Proliferation Treaty was designed it only protected the global hegemony of the victors of the 2nd World War . Under this context United States is fully entitled to stop any country from becoming more powerful than the victors of the Second World War and she did . We tried to prevent India , China , Pakistan and North Korea from developing nuclear weapons but failed

North Korea which feels extremely threatened by United States and is building missiles and nuclear weapons to counter the perceived threat and has just agreed to give-up its nuclear weapon (s ) in exchange for assurances and aid , the remaining nuclear weapon states have succeeded in being accepted as such . According to IAEA , Iran is nowhere near acquiring a nuclear weapon , but the noose being tightened around Iran puts it in a similar position as North Korea . United States being the sole superpower has every right to try to stop any country from challenging its authority but this is based on its superpower status and ability to do so , not on morality of keeping and using these destructive weapons

The comments regarding the powers exercised by nuclear states against non-nuclear states is one factor resulting in proliferation "Simple . Any country that is threatened by nukes should be able to develop a deterrent of its own

The likes of the US and China understand only one language . For example A terrorist supporting , destabilizing and non nuclear Iraq is considered a rogue state while a terrorist supporting , destabilizing and nuclear Pakistan is a key US ally . Nuclear weapons are a must to have a status in this world . If you have them , the world will listen to you even if you are a rogue . If you don 't have them , you are nobody
