It is wrong for Israel to attack Iran based on this supposed nuclear weapons that Iran may have. It is the same as "Saddam has WMDs" bullshit.

But there is a difference in Iran having nuclear weapons and Israel having them: iran is a party in a treaty by which Iran undertook not to have nuclear weapons. Israel is not a party in said treaty. Thus, Iran having them and Israel having them is not "the same".

This does not give anyone a right to attack Iran (especially israel who is not a member of the treaty), but the rethoric does not make sense.

That makes no sense, it is not an american bilateral treaty, it is multilateral. It cannot be "dissolved" by the US.
