In its editorial Wednesday, Shebab Al Iraq newspaper said that when a diplomatic or military solution can't be implemented to punish Iran, there will be no option but to coexist with a nuclear-armed Iran.
The editorial, titled "Would the U.S. allow Tehran to enter the nuclear club?" said Israel was hesitant to discuss the option of allowing Iran to have a nuclear weapons program.
The paper said: "Being fearful of Iran as a member of the nuclear club would exclude the military option; Israel is hesitant to discuss the matter."
The paper said the U.S. hesitation to coexist with Iranian nuclear weapons could push Israel to carry out a solo military attack against Iran.
The paper said if the United States is unable to coexist with a nuclear-armed Iran, it would announce a clear policy that uses the threat of nuclear weapons as a tool to gather intentional support.
