Iran’s mission in Vienna is now demanding that Israel join the NPT and place its nuclear sites under IAEA inspection. That is not a small point.

That changes the entire conversation.
I have always wondered why Iran did not insist on this from the start of negotiations.
The idea that every sovereign country in the region must submit to inspections, cap its capabilities, limit its missile range, restrict its defence systems, and even dismantle parts of its military industry just so Israel can “feel safe” is completely absurd.
Which other nation on Earth demands and receives this level of exceptional treatment?
This kind of exceptionalism is even more questionable when it comes from a state widely understood to maintain an undeclared nuclear capability while remaining outside the NPT framework.
If the standard is non-proliferation, then it must apply equally.
If Iran is expected to downblend or even ship out its 60% enriched uranium, and submit to full IAEA oversight, then the same principle should apply to every nuclear-capable state in the region.
That includes Israel.
Anything less is not non-proliferation.
It is selective enforcement
