Indeed, fearmongering over the possibility of an independent Iranian nuclear program has become so commonplace that it seldom raises an eyebrow even among the most cynical observers of the bought-and-paid-for corporate media. To defuse the glaring hypocrisy of the world's greatest nuclear superpower chastising a nation halfway around the world for pursuing a nuclear program that is admittedly still incapable of even producing a single nuclear weapon, it is often stressed that the IAEA ruled Iran to be in violation of its obligations under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Apart from the exceedingly unusual manner in which that decision was reached -- in a highly unusual non-consensus ruling with 12 abstentions--what is never mentioned in this context is that there is in fact only one nation in the Middle East that is not a signatory to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty itself, and only one country with a nuclear arsenal, an arsenal that has never been inspected by the IAEA or anybody else: Israel.
