What Happened
Iran's nuclear programme faces intense international scrutiny and sanctions for over two decades. Israel, believed to possess 80-200 nuclear warheads, avoids similar pressure despite refusing transparency. Israel has not signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty, unlike Iran. Critics argue this represents a double standard in nuclear weapons oversight, reflecting geopolitical power dynamics rather than consistent international law application.
