adey,
i agree that weapons must be reduced but it cannot happen if requests are not sincere. In other words, western governments are not willing to tolerate another great power which may reduce thier influence on the region- this is why. Iran is a signatory of the NPT.

Israel is not a signatory of the NPT but if the West is sincere, they should ask Israel dismantle let alone refraining from equiping them with nuclear reactors which they have done.
