I agree with much of what you have written here.
You say, "The regime, which is the only possessor of nuclear warheads in the region without being a member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty ..."
I believe it.
You say, "... has made various efforts in the past years to hamper Iran’s peaceful nuclear program ...".
Is there such a thing as "a peaceful nuclear program"?
(I think the answer is obvious but I'm curious about where such a discussion would rapidly go.)
You ask, "Why has Israel refused inspection ... by the IAEA?"
Because it _can_ and _wants_to_. Why does anybody _allow_ inspection of anything by anyone? I think that allowing is done to demonstrate truth and foster peace. Or sometimes the allowing may be coerced; but even if coerced it may still demonstrate truth and foster peace. Nobody is coercing Israel yet; Israel (the government of it) is not interested in fostering truth in such matters; and Israel (the government of it) has such a one-sided idea of "peace" that it doesn't relate to even-handed cooperation by Israel.
Who allows inspection by the IAEA, and who doesn't? I believe Iraq and Iran do allow it, while Israel and North Korea don't. Does the IAEA inspect in Russia or in the U.S.? I doubt it. Why doesn't it? (I think I can guess what the answer is, but would like your clarification on the matter.)
The Israeli government is backed by the U.S. government; the U.S. government is powerful enough, and backs Israel so abjectly, that Israel has been able to do whatever it wants. How is the U.S. so powerful and abject at the same time? The U.S. is powerful in that it uses force in many places around the world. The U.S. is abject about Israel because of a bad kind of politics built by people such as in a lobby, supporting Israel, to the U.S. Congress. The U.S. people, also, have a limited view of what Israel is about. The U.S. people remember the Holocaust that was against Jews in Europe in WW II and the U.S.'s role in WW II. The U.S. people at large don't have much room in their heads to _also_ recognize the wrongs that _Israel_ does now. This simple-mindedness of the U.S. people regarding Israel is nourished (that is, kept simple and naive, and reinforced in its simplicity and naïveté) by the Israel-supporting lobby and by people similar to it.
I agree that "Israel poses a threat to the world with its nuclear arsenal"; however, I could say the same about several other countries, probably including the U.S. Right now I feel that North Korea's the worst and maybe Israel's the second worst, in this regard.
"... inspectors ... go on a fishing expedition ..." Maybe so. I think the IAEA _itself_ is probably impartial enough; but, the IAEA is probably subject to influence from the U.S. which is abjectly backing Israel.
