Israeli Ambassador Danon to U.N. Security Council: Act against Iran's nuclear threat

"Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon sent a letter to the members of the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday, calling on them to act against Iran's nuclear threat.

In his letter, Danon mentioned that Iran had a failed attempt to launch a satellite into space at the beginning of February, and was carried by a rocket that is capable of carrying a nuclear head.

'Iran has clearly and blatantly ignored the call by the international community to cease this type of activity that violates Security Council Resolution 2231, which accompanies the nuclear agreement with the superpowers,' Danon added.

'The international community should view this as another provocative act that is part of Iran's hostile ballistic missile program,' Danon wrote. 'Iran's efforts to promote this plan not only threatens its neighbors and the entire Middle East, but also a large portion of European countries.'..."
