India, Israel Cooperate on Bomb Investigation -Yaakov Katz & Herb Keinon
Israeli forensic teams arrived in New Delhi to assist in the investigation of the bombing attack against an Israeli embassy car.

Caught in His Own Blast: An Iranian Targeting Israel -Andrew Buncombe
A day after an Israeli diplomat was injured in a bomb attack in Delhi and another attempt was foiled in Georgia - police in Bangkok were called to a property where an explosion badly damaged the roof.

Reports said three men, all said to be Iranian, fled the scene. One of the men attempting to flee threw an explosive device at advancing police. His legs were said to have been torn off by the subsequent blast. The man was identified as Saeid Moradi. "We discovered the injured man's passport. It's an Iranian passport," Bansiri Prapapat, a police official, said.

Israel: Thai Bombs Similar to Ones Used in India, Georgia Attacks
The bombs discovered in a Bangkok house after an accidental blast were similar to devices used against Israeli Embassy targets in India and Georgia, Israel's ambassador to Thailand Itzhak Shoha said. That and the arrest of the two Iranians in Thailand "again leave not too much room to assume who was behind it," he said. Israel's Channel 10 TV quoted unidentified Thai authorities as saying the captured Iranians confessed to targeting Israeli interests.

I am not sure this cartoon is on target for this set of events though in general it does appear relevant. I do not think the world is turning a blind eye to what Iran did, nor do I think the world was overly critical of Israel when the Iranian nuke scientist was blown up. When it comes to Iran I do not think anyone is looking to side with them, though China and Russia are supporting them.

It will be interesting to see if your thesis pans out after an Israeli strike at Iran. I hope you are correct.
