Israel is presumed to have Nuclear weapons. North Korea definitely has 
them. Iran is trying to get theirs built but Western nations and 
Israelis seem to be interfering with that objective.

	I doubt Cuba is wasting it time and money on nuclear weapons
as they seem unaggressive except on the PR front as they send doctors
and other medical personnel to African nations at times.
