The European Union also used the meeting to call on Iran to stop obstructing an IAEA investigation and give the agency access to sites and documents, regardless of broader talks between Iran and world powers that resumed last week.......

So, When is Israel going to let the IAEA inspect their nuclear facilities?

As strange as it sounds, I side with Iran here. When is Israel going to inform the world about their stock of nuclear weapons, and their capability of delivering them to enemy countries? WMD were used once as a decisive arguments for attacking and destroying a country (Iraq), and I see nobody complaining about Israel's worst guarded secret (their unofficial nuclear capability).

Oh yeah, if the world needs a real rogue country with the bomb, just look no further than North Korea. Wha'cha gonna do about it?

That is a false equivalency. Israel`s nuclear program was not taken in violation of NNP regulations and while blatantly lying to the IAEA about it. And Israel is not threatening to wipe out any other country.... in contrast to the mullah regime in Iran,

Dragging Israel into the debate about Irans nuclear bomb program is a polemical ploy by the Iranian islamists and their friends. Sad that some Westerners fall for that.

Yes, that does sound strange. And ill-informed. To compare Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, with the genocidal Ayatollha regime in Teheran is absurd.

@Willib Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East? Those Afghanistan and Iraq wars really were a waste of lives then. That aside, I would hate to see that grotesque regime in Iran with nuclear weapons but again this unequivocal support of Israel is breathtaking. Israel has been playing 'wouldn't you like to know' on this issue for decades. A UN resolution ( true, not legally binding ) last December called on Israel to join the NPT 'without further delay' and open its facilities to inspection by the IAEA. The resolution was overwhelmingly approved by a majority of 174 to 6. I don't think anyone will be shocked to know the US was in that tiny minority ( joined by Israel, Canada, and a few Pacific Islands ). I'd like to see a Middle East free of all nuclear weapons, but Israel's blatant obfuscations create more mistrust, suspicion and heighten the sense that Israel will be able to ( and sometimes does ) get away with anything, backed by the US.
