Iran and North Korea are both signators and that is why they are required to allow the IAEA to inspect...which both do sporadically.

India and Pakistan both are not signatories of the NPT and allow the IAEA to inspect their nuclear facilities. And they both have nuclear weapons.

That there is called made up since you have no source for that and just pulled it out of thin air.
Also keep in mind that every other country in the Middle East has signed it.
