Certainly it is immoral for nations with nuclear weapons to dictate to other nations that they cannot also have them.
How about the Assad regime? Or how about Mugabe? Or how about Sudan? If we have no reason to oppose them having one, we should just sell them a bomb at cut rate prices!
Between the extrajudicial murders and the pro-nuclear proliferation view I'm just not quite sure what your understanding of "moral authority consists of, but I'm pretty sure it's not even remotely close to my views.
Also, if you think Iran is doing this for "internal energy" needs, you are a sucker.
