Ah, how I love it now come the insults.
Isn't the CIA the source you "Mainstream Lovers" use as long as it fits your agenda?

Until they sign it, you cannot hold them to it. Iran did sign it, thus they should be held to it. How is this difficult to understand?
If Israel did not sign onto the NPT, it cannot obtained or purchase uranium (at least legally) on the open market. The $ 64 question is , How does Israel obtain its uranium to make its nuclear weapons?
I wonder if Israel would make such an offer?

so, let me get this straight. israel has 200+ nuclear warheads and they are not signing the treaty.
their choice and right. right? iran has 0 nuclear warheads, but it does, just like israel, have
a nuclear weapons programme. therefore, when iran actually develops a real nuclear warhead
they are going to use it immediately?
has it ever crossed your mind that iran will be just like israel, having nuclear weapons
but NOT using them? ah, i forgot. they're muslim. right? they will use that bomb right
away!
lol. you #ing warmongers of all colours. playing gods. and telling lies. argh!

Does anybody actually believe that? Why so much secrecy for peaceful purposes? I don't believe it for one second. If they want to build nukes, just withdraw from the treaty.

If Iran is not a signatory, then you cannot hold them to the treaty. If they wish to withdraw, they should do so.
Why would they? They only use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
How Typical CNN isnt even reporting on it. Or should Call CNN INN?
Why does Israel have ANY right to tell countries if the can or can not have Nuclear weapons?

My logical response to that question would be that... they have no right to tell others whether or not they can have nuclear weapons.
What exactly are you looking for? What would constitute proof, in your eyes, and how can it be properly and satisfactorily established (in public) without Iranian cooperation and transparency? What do you think we not doing at the moment that we should be doing to prove/disprove the theory that Iran is developing a deliverable nuclear weapon?

Israel isn't rulled by some nutbag who is trying to bring the 12th Imam via mass genocide of jews. Thats why Iran is developing nuclear weapons. not because every other kid on the block has them but because Iran actually intends to use theirs at some point to further their agenda.
In 2003, Martin van Creveld, a professor of military history at Israel’s Hebrew University, thought that the Al-Aqsa Intifada then in progress threatened Israel's existence.[19] Van Creveld was quoted in David Hirst's "The Gun and the Olive Branch" (2003) as saying: "We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: 'Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.' I consider it all hopeless at this point. We shall have to try to prevent things from coming to that, if at all possible. Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.[20]

Well, in order to make sure and prove that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon we must make sure they abide by the international regulations they agreed to. They must submit to regular inspections, and be transparent with their energy program.
So far there have been multiple agencies who claim they are following these guidelines. Of course there was the New York Times story released a while ago spreading lies and using words such as could or might, instead of is or are. The usual nonsense from the media.
I am not sure I completely answered your question, but what I am looking for is Israel to provide the same transparency they demand from other countries. If they want the world to take them seriously, they should stop acting like children.
The difference between Israel and Iran, is that Israel isn't rulled by some nutbag who is trying to bring the 12th Imam via mass genocide of jews.

Would you apply the same logic if Iran withdrew from the treaty and pursued nuclear weapons?
"They withdrew from the treaty, why should they follow it?"
