1: "It is hypocritical to chastise Iran for wanting to have nuclear weapons when the US and Israel have more than most of the world." That sentence is wrong, both the US and Israel acquired their nuclear weapons legally, Iran is acquiring hers ilegally as Iran is a signatory of the nuclear NPT. As far as numbers go Russia is still way ahead by a factor of almost 50% when it comes to the numbers of weapons, China also has double the number of "nukes" that Israel is reported to have. 2: The US has reduced its nuclear arsenal by about 65% since SALT 1 & 2.
