The NPT does not have any standing among the nuclear community when it comes to Iran, it will come down to if there is a direct threat to either of those nations or their allies to bring retaliation.
Iran is not an ally of any nuclear armed country and does not have transportation capabality of its nuclear arsenal yet so a pre emptive strike by Israel would not bring about any response especially as it is an ally of the United States.
In conclusion FOX news is vehemently against Irans interests and supportive of Israel so that is another reason why the US will allow a strike.

I've adressed this topic on another thread, but I will repeat here.
There is nothing for Israel to gain by waiting to attack Iran. In fact strategically it is foolish to stand by and wait for a U.N. consensus that will never happen.......and yet buys Iran ever more time to gain ever more strength.
I doubt that there are any clear thinkers that actually believe that there will not be another conflict in the M.E. are there? Israel, and the U.S. for that matter have essentially been at war with with Iran by proxy? Most would agree that conflict is not a matter of if, but when. It is inevitable. In fact, it is promised and has been promised almost daily for the past 3 decades by Iran and even longer by neighbors. It is much better by any measure to choose the the timing and the terms of the inevitable than to allow sworn enemies dictate the schedule to their advantage.
Yes, Iran has managed to defeat the Obama and Western countries in by buying time. They have used that time to disperse the various nuclear sites and to harden them. I am just speculating here, but they will now need bunker busters to open them up like a can opener followed by tactical nuke IMO. Those nukes could be delivered by air assets, from their submarine assets, or by the missile they tested.
The response by the Big 5? All too predictable as we have seen with the response to Irans activities, North Korea, Syria, and Lebanon....... Hand wringing, indecisiveness, indecision, and disagreement. Sure they will have emergency meetings, talking heads would not miss an opportunity to leap on the soap box in front of throngs of media, lots of bellicose talk of what should happen...........and yet nothing will.
Even more effective would be to time it with taking out Assar in Syria. The protestors taking advantage of disarray to take power of their nation.
Hezbollah and Hamas would also need to be observed. Turkey would rattle sabres and yet do nothing. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Jordan would be secretly pleased.

In case its been missed Iran is the epitome of an Islamofascist Terrorist Swine nation .....with whom America has been in an UNRECOGNIZED WAR for ~ FIVE YEARS.
Something that you seem to be in denial about.
And, unless it's a sensitive point with you, you didn't answer my question: are you a Muslim ?
Because you sure sound as though you are.
Share and share alike: I am a sort of an Agnostic. My God is the God of Einstein & Spinoza (and others)
BTW: are you a representative of CAIR ???
Again, you sound as though you are.
