Iran is largely compliant with the NPT, that is not the issue, rather it is their compliance with the Additional Protocol, which includes among other things remote monitoring and 'surprise inspections'. BTW, the US has signed but not ratified the Additional Protocol. Israel is not a signatory to NPT and therefor is exempt from the inspection regime held by other member states - but it still is a member state of the International Atomic Energy Agency (which is responsible for monitoring compliance with the NPT). Nor has Israel declared itself a Nuclear Weapons State like Pakistan, France etc. etc.
A bit more nuclear political history, in 2005, at the International Atomic Energy General Conference, Egypt put forward a motion for a nuclear weapons free zone in the Middle East, all countries except Israel voted in favour. Yes, Iran voted in favour.
The hypocrisy of the international community regarding Israel is more than undeclared borders, illegal occupations, seiges and walls. Israel can sit on a stockpile of nuclear warheads, refuse to declare its 'intent' as a state and thereby excuse itself from inspections that all other states including NWS must adhere to. Iran, in the meantime, hasn't attacked another nation in 300 years, has signed and ratified the Additional Protocol and therefore is subjected to even stricter inspection protocol than the US but Iran is being threatened with sanctions again. Something doesn't add up.
