Ok, I took the second paragraph of the post I was responding to you as taking a defensive position of a view you felt I opposed. If not then cool.

No, the government shouldn't give nuclear technology to Iran. They should just let Iran buy it from the lowest bidding company able to provide it.

The statement that Israel should not exist is not relevant, in my opinion, to whether they should be allowed to develop a bomb if they so choose.

As for whether Iran can legally withdraw, about the only punishment I can see the United Nations being able to exact on a sovereign nation is either invasion, which wouldn't happen, and expulsion from the United Nations, which also wouldn't happen as it would be an acknowledgement that membership isn't paricularly vital to a countries existence.
