COMMENT | Lately, we’ve been hearing louder talk that the Zionist regime and the United States are planning to attack Iran. Their excuse? To stop Iran from supposedly building nuclear weapons.

But here’s a simple question. Why is Iran being threatened while Israel is quietly allowed to keep and build hundreds of nuclear bombs? Where’s the fairness in that?

Everyone knows Israel is the only country in West Asia that has nuclear weapons. They never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), yet the West just looks the other way. No inspections. No sanctions. No pressure.

Experts believe Israel has at least 200 nuclear warheads, mostly built with help from France and protected in silence by allies like the US and the United Kingdom.

Iran, on the other hand, did sign the NPT. The country has said many times that its nuclear programme is for peaceful use, like generating energy and treating diseases. But still, the West continues to pressure, threaten, and punish Iran.

So again, why the double standard?
