bb - Are you saying that Iran does not have the right to defend itself? "

No. If they are attacked, they have the right to defend themselves- as does every other country, including Israel and the US.

They DO NOT, BECAUSE of their signing the NPT, have the right to develop nuclear weapons, nor to conceal their nuclear activities that are covered by that treaty.

Israel, who DID NOT sign that treaty, nor recieved the aid provided by it, does NOT have the same requirements- along with all the other nations who did not sign the NPT. ALL those who DID sign it are subject to the restrictions that it imposes: Those who did not are NOT.
