There has been a lot of press around the Iran deal and whether it'll actually prevent Iran from manufacturing a nuclear weapon. But what other countries -- besides the U.S. and Russia -- have nukes?


There are two categories in which these countries fall in, those who have signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons – also known as Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT – and those who have not.
