U.N. nuclear talks with Iran fail to end deadlock

Source: Reuters

Get Israel(the one who is threatening to start a nuclear arms race in the middle east) to join the NPT. Even if Iran end's it medical and energy related nuclear programs, Saudi Arabia will develop or buy nuclear weapons because Israel possesses a huge arsenal.
