Although some countries recognize dual citizenship, you have to take into account the oath of USA citizenship, in which you must renounce all allegiance to leaders of foreign nations, and swear allegiance to the United States of America.
What this means is you are FIRST a citizen of the USA, and if the USA should happen to go to war against your native homeland, you will fight on the side of the USA, against your motherland. Would you do that? If you cannot, or will not, you should not become a citizen of the United States. If you become a US citizen you must believe yourself to be a US citizen above all other citizenships, our US flag is now your flag, our national anthems are your anthems, our history is now your history.
Here is the oath of citizenship to the United States of America:
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God. In acknowledgement whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature."

Some countries do offer dual citizenship. Canda and England are two of them. You'd have to check on your specific country.

depends on the country you are from originally. My mother has dual Swedish and US, so it is possible, but I don't think you could for instance be Iranian and American at the same time. Depends.

Sadly, by U.S. law, yes. Other countries have different laws but most do allow dual nationality.
