What are the criteria for having nuclear weapons?

As far as I know nuclear weapons have never been traded between countries, so if a country has nuclear weapons it is due to their own science and technology, or to espionage activities to get the required knowledge.

For many Iranians, having nuclear power is a symbol of being a part of the developed world.
