    Because then the US any every other IAEA signatory would be obligated to sanction Israel which would be the end of Israel’s economy.

    No news media dares mention it because they have no proof and would both loose any insider access and get buried in libel cases.

      I think the West has already demonstrated that they’re perfectly happy to just ignore obligations like that, as evidenced by them all refusing to inforce the arrest warrant against Netanyahu.

      Forced by who? The Republican Congress would likely say Iran deserved it, and even if they didn’t Trump would dismantle any group the executive branch is supposed to use to enforce them as he was pushing for with Russia .

      Their biggest trading partner is China … not sure what they would do

        It has nothing to do with a ‘republican’ congress.

        Democrats wouldn’t stand up to Israel either and you’re delusional if you think otherwise.

              You know that they put the sanctions on Russia right, even with a Republican Congress. Or do you forget how the sanctions were held until Trump came into office and stopped allowing the executive branch to uphold them?

                That means democrats would stand up to Israel?

                This is what I mean by delusion. You people are so far gone you can’t even realize it.

                  Sanctioning Israel if they dropped a nuke on Iran? Absolutely. I’m not even a democrat but you are living in another world if you think they wouldn’t. What realm of insanity are you living in.

                  Post a nuke being dropped Iran only gains sympathy for standing up for the Palestinians.

                  Democrat Congress members are idiots who were way behind on what their constituents wanted and had money funneled to them. But there is no way they would be able to support Israel after that and ever be elected again

                    Yeah, you’re just going to keep moving goalposts rather than admit you’re wrong.

                    You did it once and I gave you a pass, but twice is inexcusable.

                    I’m going to ignore you now. Goodbye.

                    They wouldn’t even stop supporting Israel when they started committing a modern holocaust, let alone actually sanctioning them.

                    They were also perfectly happy to support Israel even if it stopped them getting elected.

                    If Israel nuked Iran, the Democrats would do some performative brow furrowing, call for Israel to show restraint, and send them another billion dollars

                And they didn’t put sanctions on Israel. In fact, they sent them record amounts of free weapons
