Pakistan's nuclear program started in the 1972 under PM Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's leadership in response to India's nuclear developments. In 1983, Pakistan tested its implosion design in a mockup test using natural uranium (instead of weapons grade enriched uranium). Additional mockup tests were performed that year and in 1984, verifying that a chain reaction could be reliably started but producing no nuclear yield. With China providing weapons grade enriched uranium in 1983 and the results of the mockup tests Pakistan is considered to have achieved nuclear capability in 1984, although they did not actually test one until 1998, in response to a series of tests by India that year.
During a military crisis with India in 1990, seven bomb cores are believed to have been produced, but were not assembled into finished bombs at that time.

What is Mexico's stance on the nuclear non proliferation issue in Iran?
In 1982 Mexico ratified the Sea-Bed Treaty stating that their government has the right to inspect, remove, or destroy military weapons or structures or other nuclear weapons/ weapons of mass destruction. I don't know if this helps at all, but good luck. Also, Mexico is trying to get closer to nuclear weapons being abolished from all of the world. However, officials have found terrorist groups in Mexico attempting to plan attacks on the US. It has been argued that there are many nuclear weapons in Mexico. They may be for the issue in Iran or against, the world may never know.

Why is America opposed to Iran having nuclear weapons?
It is evident that Iran's efforts are focused both on uranium enrichment and a parallel plutonium effort. Iran claims it is trying to establish a complete nuclear fuel cycle to support a civilian energy program, but this same fuel cycle would be applicable to a nuclear weapons development program. Iran appears to have spread their nuclear activities around a number of sites to reduce the risk of detection or attack. This seems to be the reason.
How long has nuclear weapons been around?
