- North Korea-conducted 3 nuclear tests, we don't believe they currently have the capability to reach the United States, Pyongyang admitted to running a secret nuclear test 8 years after the US helped them build nuclear reactors for power, tough sanctions have been placed on North Korea.
- Israel-Refuses to confirm or deny that they have nuclear weapons, over the years Israel has obtained submarines and air crafts capable of carrying nuclear weapons, but they wont say whether or not they actually have them.
- Iran-for the past decade there has been concern about Iran's nuclear program, not cooperating enough to see if they are making nuclear weapons or using nuclear energy for power.
