> I don’t think we should prevent any country from doing so.

Even countries ruled by theocratic leaders who promote hate and obscurity ?

If those in power are the qualifier for if a country should have nuclear weapons or not, then the US should immediately destroy their entire stockpile. Giving power to launch nuclear weapons, to someone who is clearly not mentally well, is insane.

Given that there are a few nuclear powers that could meet that criteria, I really don't see a reason why Iran is a special case, especially when comparing it to Pakistan, for example.

Iran is a special case for Israel. Israel isn't directly threatened by Pakistan having nuclear weapons.

I think if people had been able to at the time, they would have stopped Pakistan getting nukes.

Does not seem that different from the past 4 years in the US? If NK can have nukes, I don’t see who can’t.

Not sure obscurity was the word you were looking for?
