We know israel has nuclear plants, this is a fact. We also have good reason to believe they have nuclear weapons, much more reason than to believe iran does. No nuclear inspectors have ever been allowed to inspect israel nuclear facilities that are known to exist or to inspect suspected nuclear sites. ever...
Do you believe honestly israel should be the only country in the world to not have its weapons inspected ? while at the same time iran should be shunned for allowing iaea to view its facilities but not including americans ?
the real issue here is iran doesn't trust usa and it's puppets and for good reason , they have spied on them in the past , bribed scientists and comitted industrial espionage.

In my opinion...I did not imply that at all. But non the less...I now have an understanding of why the IAEA has never inspected Israel or made a request to do so. The IAEA only inspects countries that are a member of the NPT (Non Proliferation Treaty) which Israel is not a signator to. It has been Israel's position that they will not become a signator to the NPT until peace reigns in the Middle East.
Iran and North Korea are both signators and that is why they are required to allow the IAEA to inspect...which both do sporadically.
