Why are Western nations afraid of Iran possessing nuclear weapons?

The reason Western nations are afraid of Iran possessing nuclear weapons is that the Iranian government has made consistent statements that Israel will vanish from the page of history and supported Islamist paramilitary/terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas which are organized to achieve that end. Additionally, Iran signed the NPT while Israel and Pakistan did not, meaning that Iran has certain treaty obligations and benefits whereas those other states do not.

What does Iran actually say it is doing in 2013?

Iran is doing numerous things. For example, it recently banned Fcebook. However, this question is more likely seeking to address the Iranian Nuclear Program, which Iran claims is for purely peaceful purposes. Iran argues that it has a right to nuclear-based electrical power like all of the signatories to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and also that nuclear energy would show that Iran is a modern country - not a backwater.

Does the US nuclear weapons?

Does the U.S. have nuclear weapons? Yes there are five countries that obtained nuclear weapons in the aftermath of the Second World War: U.S., Great Britain, Russia, China, and France. These five signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to stop the expand of nuclear weapons. In the '70s both India and Pakistan began acquiring nuclear capability. North Korea, Iran, and Israel are controversial countries that are unkown for having yet obtained, but having hinted, at control of nuclear capability. I say nobody should have them.


Why does Iran have restrictions on its nuclear ambitions as opposed to other countries?

All of this hinges around the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). This was a treaty that was made by the first five countries to have developed nuclear weapons or nuclear power technologies: US, USSR, UK, France, and China. These countries passed the NPT to prevent nuclear weapons to arise in any other country. According to the NPT, if a third-party country joined the treaty as a signatory, that country would be bound to not produce any nuclear weapons and would be subject to inspections, as determined by the nuclear powers (US, USSR, UK, France, and China), to make sure that no weapons would be produced if there was a serious doubt that production was occurring. However, there was a huge upside, namely that any signatory could have the direct assistance of one of the nuclear powers in setting up their own nuclear power facilities, meaning that these countries would not have to spend decades reinventing nuclear technology. Iran signed the treaty, while Israel, Pakistan, and India did not.Since Iran signed the treaty, they are held to the requirement that they allow inspections and the treaty also gives the US the leverage over Iran. Conversely, since Israel, Pakistan, and India did not sign, they had to invent nuclear technology from the ground up. Israel likely achieved this in the 1960s. India and Pakistan both achieved this for certain (because of nuclear tests) in the 1990s.Since the US, Russia (successor to the USSR in all treaties), UK, France, and China were the authors of the treaty, they exempted themselves from the requirement to be inspected. Besides, everyone already knew that these countries had nuclear stockpiles and would use other treaties to limit them.As for other nuclear energy countries, like Japan, those countries do have to agree to inspections of their facilities by international observers. This is quite a common and regular occurrence with very little enmity from Japan over the international inspectors. However, there has never been suspicion over Japan's nuclear program given the country's severe limitations on having a military. This is why the inspections are rather lax and not much diplomatic effort has been spent on forcing compliance.


Is Iran nuclear dangerous?

it is quite unfair to say that having nuclear weapons with IRAN is dangerous because when pakistan is nuclear armed country and other nations are equipped with this nuclear facility because if IRAN is acquiring nuclear energy for gud purpose, then we shud not stop IRAN from achieving its energy purpose.
