According to a confidential report released today by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran has covertly expanded its stockpile of uranium enriched to 60% or higher, surpassing 900 pounds—an increase of 295 pounds since the agency’s last assessment in February. Uranium enriched to 60% is just a technical step away from weapons-grade material suitable for use in a nuclear weapon. The report also confirmed that Iran previously conducted undeclared nuclear activities involving enriched material at three separate sites across the country, likely as part of a covert, structured nuclear program that continued until the early 2000s.

Does Iran have a right to self defense? On the nation-state level having nukes is like having the right to bear arms, isn't it?

I don't want to see nuclear proliferation, but I understand why governments seek them when they see what happens to regimes without them (e.g. Libya, Ukraine).

Should regimes saying other regime can't have nukes lead by example, and disarm themselves of their nukes?
