Iran may demand sanctions against Israel or even inspections of Israel's Dimona facilities to confirm the existence of nuclear weapons. But such demands won't have any impact on the key power centers in this confrontation. France is not a key supporter of Israel now, so if France turns against Israel then Israel hasn't lost much and the situation hasn't fundamentally changed. Any Iranian demands aren't going to change the position of the US, Britain, Germany, Russia, or China and thus when Iran is done venting its frustrations over the powerful Israeli nuclear arsenal, everyone will look at Iran and say "are you finished now?" and that's about it. The situation will be unchanged: nobody outside of Iran and a few other small countries wants Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, and the rest of the world has the power to shut down Iran's nuclear program, one way or another.

So all the rantings from Iran are just like a criminal gang leader yelling out of his house at the police who have him surrounded and are moving in to arrest him. The fun-sized psycho in Iran is deluding himself that somehow he's going to win a military confrontation against all the major military powers in the world. It appears to be difficult for these Iranian leaders to face up to reality. They are so used to calling the shots, telling everyone else what to do, and doing whatever they want in Iran, and now the big world powers are telling them "no, you can't build nukes." So far, they're in denial of reality and refusing to face up to the inevitable conclusion of this confrontation.
