Answer 1
It is the policy of double standards adopted by the West. They want Israel to be the only dominating power in the Middle East.
US always supports Israel in UN by veto and UN can not have any limitation for Israel.
Answer 2
Iran is a country that has made clearly bellicose statements about how it would like to remake the Middle East. It has endorsed Hezbollah's violent attacks on the Lebanese Government, stalled progress in Syria by arming the vile Bashar al-Assad, threatened the Gulf Countries with violence, claimed a mandate to overthrow Bahrain's monarchy and liberate the Shiites of Bahrain and east Saudi Arabia, it has sent the Al-Kutz forces into Iraq to further inflame religious and ethnic tensions in Iraq, systematically and violently attacked the Balochi minority in the southwest and the Kurdish minority in the northeast, prevented the expression of Sunni Islam in its borders and violently attacked Sunnis gathering to pray - never mind the Baha'i, Yarsan, and Jewish minorities, repressed its own citizens in the Green Revolution of 2009 through violence and intimidation, and last but not least, has made clear that it wishes to remove Israel from the map.
Israel has done nothing even remotely similar. While the Occupation of Palestinian Territories is definitely problematic, it is not a crime or a threat on the order of magnitude of the Iranian crimes.
The West is quite reasonably afraid of a country like Iran acquiring nuclear missiles. This is the same reason why Western countries are opposed to North Korea having nuclear missiles.

They also consider it to be a question of double standards when Israel, India, and Pakistan are allowed nuclear weapons and nuclear power, but Iran is allowed neither.

Why is there concern about Iran going nuclear although claimed for peaceful use while there is no concern about Israel although it already has nuclear weapons?
This is true for many reasons. First of all, Israel does not officially have nuclear weapons, although common international consensus is that they do. Secondly, Israel is a close ally of the United States, and any nation will be much quicker to condemn a nation that they fear (such as Iran) more so than a nation they trust. It is also much more accepted in the international community that Israel has nuclear weapons because it is a lone nation in a very hostile environment, and other nations that believe Israel may have nuclear weapons would think twice before attacking it. The United States knows that Israel would not dare using it's own nuclear weapons without the permission from either the US or the international community. On the subject of Iran, the international community has no reason to believe that Iran is pursuing nuclear capabilities for peaceful means. These reasons range from the fact that Iran has rejected to be provided with nuclear energy in exchange for giving up it's nuclear program, to the extreme aggressiveness of its current leader, Ahmadinejad (he has made numerous statements to other countries in which they should prepare for the complete and utter destruction of the United States, and Israel).
