Iran Objects to Israeli Threat

Iran’s Ambassador to the UN has sent a letter of protest regarding recent comments by an Israeli Deputy Defense Minister:

“Iran’s ambassador to the UN, Mohammad Khazaee, sent a letter of protest to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moonin which he wrote that “there is no explanation for Israel’s continuing threats against Tehran”.

He was referring to an interview given by former Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh to the Sunday Times in which he said that if Iran were not further sanctioned by this Christmas Israel would attack the country.

Sneh told the paper that if Israel were forced to attack the Islamic Republic on its own it would do so, remarks the Iranian ambassador deemed “irresponsible”.

Iran will no doubt find a sympathetic ear at the UN but its complaint is ironic given President Ahmadinejad’s repeated threats to destroy Israel.
