It's rather hypocrytical of the international community to pressurise Iran against developing nuclear technology, which might eventually result in nuclear weapons, when their most prominent members already have a nuclear arsenal big enough to destroy all humanity many times over.
There's nothing wrong with developing nuclear energy, so long as there are strong safeguards for safety and clean disposal of nuclear waste. Nuclear weapons, on the other hand, are utterly wrong. All weapons are immoral, but nuclear weapons are many times worse, because they cause damage that is so much worse than conventional weapons. Therefore, yes, Iran shouldn't be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.
But then, neither should all those other countries be in possession of the same weapons that they are accusing Iran of contemplating to develop. Iran's position is on the lines of, "You have nuclear weapons, then why shouldn't we have them too?" Can't blame them. It's absurd to wave a non-proliferation treaty in someone else's face, when you yourself have been proliferating away to your heart's content for so many years.
