  • Italy
  • Iran
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The NSG was formed specifically to control which countries can supply nuclear material, so its own membership is limited to trusted supplier nations.

  1. Russia: A founding member of the NSG.
  2. USA: Also a founding member, and one of the most influential voices in the group.
  3. Italy: A member state as well, being part of the broader group of nuclear-capable and supplier nations.
  4. Iran: Not a member. Iran's nuclear activities have instead been the subject of scrutiny and sanctions by bodies connected to nuclear non-proliferation.

So the correct answer is option D, Iran.
