that little slip of the tounge by Israel is going to really make things difficult for them to lobby against Irans nuclear research

Uhmmm... perhaps because Iran is a signatory of the NPT and Israel is not?

No nation is forced to sign the NPT. However, they receive certain benefits if they do.

The reason that Iran is under current scrutiny is because they have violated the treaty. No one forced them to sign it, yet they have.

There is no denying that certain country's nuclear programs are not fully monitored by the IAEA, but they have not threatened to wipe a nation of the planet either.

Why should Israel be forced to sign a treaty? they never agreed to the NPT, Iran did and is now violating it blatantly.

i didnt think iran had actually VIOLATED, atleast there isnt any PROOF of them violating...

was it really a slip of the tongue by Israel though? Could it not be a public display that they will not be dictated to by Iran?

I dont believe Israel 'slips' anything, they have a detailed agenda & i wouldnt be surprised if this is part of it somehow.

I agree though that they certainly should be inspected, its an absolute farce that Israel, being the most terrorist country in the world, can have secret nuclear arms.

I agree although i think Iran should be inspected by the UN itself Israel should disarm or something. Otherwise the arguement will always be we should have them as well from other countries in my opinion it's better if neither Iran or Israel had them.
