"They are not even allowed to produce fuel for their own nuclear reactor within the terms of the NPT that they are signatory to. "

Wrong, as stated above. "within the terms of the NPT that they are signatory to."




"They are not allowed to have weapons which would give them the capability to fight back effectively if invaded." TRUE That is the purpose of the NPT, to allow for use of nuclear power WITHOUT allowing nuclear weapons. If they don't like it, they should not sign the NPT and NOT get the benefits of it.
