The Spin

Show the world photos of dead schoolchildren and the answer comes back as sanctions. The nuclear bomb sits in Israel while the inspectors comb through Iran, a country that hasn't attacked a neighbor in 200 years and keeps its facilities under IAEA safeguards. Threatening to annihilate a UN member state from the General Assembly rostrum is the real violation of the Charter.

Playing the victim at the UN podium takes some nerve from the world's leading funder of terror. Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis and Iraqi militias all run on Tehran's money, and thousands of Iranians were killed for daring to protest this past winter. A regime that spreads terror abroad and murders its own people at home has no standing to lecture anyone about morality.

There is a 1% chance that, if there is an American AUMF or declaration of war against Iran before 2030, the U.S. will control Tehran within one year, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
