The Nuclear Non Proliferation treaty is an unfair document to begin with and has been signed by countries that don't necessarily have a desire to have a desire to have self determination. When the treaty was first developed it was decided only the select five countries would be allowed to have the ability to produce Nuclear Weapons. Besides those five nobody else would be allowed to possess nuclear weapons. On this question what moral authority do these five countries bestow upon themselves to be the only ones to possess such weapons. Thus countries like Argentina, India, Israel, Pakistan and a few others have not signed the treaty. The fact that such a treaty would be even considered shows the un-fairness that exists in the world. If Iran wants to develop it's own nuclear weapons then it may decide to walk away from the treaty after all when it signed the treaty a Monarchy was in place and today they have a democracy that may decide to do something different. Let countries like the US and Russia first show leadership by disarming themselves and open for international inspections as well.

Even if Iran had a Nuclear weapon, it is physically impossible for it to hit the continental USA.
