Iran Protests Israel's Military Threat
2007-06-20
TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- The Iranian ambassador to the UN, in a letter to the secretary-general, complained that the UN Security Council has done nothing to stop Israel's "unlawful and dangerous threats" against Iran. Javad Zarif protested yesterday a recent statement from Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz that Israel has not ruled out military action against Iran to disable its nuclear program. He also referred to a similar statement that Zionist regime's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert made in April.

"I wish to inform you that, emboldened by the absence of any action by the Security Council, various Israeli officials have unabatedly continued to publicly and contemptuously make unlawful and dangerous threats of resorting to force against the Islamic Republic of Iran," Zarif said in the letter, dated June 11. He also sent a copy to the president of the Security Council.
Have to admire the chutzpah. To an extent. Wonder if he knows the word?
Zarif faulted the council for not condemning the statements and for "pushing for statements against Iran based on various distortions and unsubstantiated allegations ... in a failed attempt and tired smokescreen to distract the international community's attention from the real and serious threats that the (Israeli) regime poses to international and regional peace and security."

#2  Yeah, the Israelis are always spouting off about how Iran will be wiped off the earth, and how the countdown to Iran's destruction has begun. After what those poor Iranians have been put through, they should get some well deserved UN money.

#1  Oh, come on! What do the Iranians have to fear? They have the most powerful force in the universe - the Mighty Mad Mullah Mighty Military Machine. One little squeak and Israel's wiped off the map! Right, guys?
