The Iran nuclear agreement discussion and Israel's nuclear weapons

Could someone please explain why, with all the controversy over the Iran Nuclear deal in Congress no mention is ever made by the media or any politician that Israel is sitting on anywhere from 75 to 400 nuclear warheads, they never signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and they maintain a policy of "nuclear ambiguity" in regard to their nuclear weapons program?

Seems to me that this should be relevant to any discussion of nuclear weapons in the Middle East.

On edit: Also wanted to mention that the anti- Iran nuclear deal advertisements running on TV are backed by AIPAC.

And you have to realize by now that the mainstream media has an agenda set apart from reporting the news and current events.
