Why does Iran not have the right to develop nuclear weapons, if it so
desires? Especially when the U.S can opt in and out of treaties at will:
then clearly treaties, if signed to, are not binding either.

For that matter, if a state like India, which occupies and oppresses
other regions and terrorizes its own population, is ruled by a bunch of
thugs and right-wing religious freaks, can be permitted to have nuclear
weapons, then anyone should be.
