The U.N.'s disgraceful, dangerous refusal to face facts on Iran

"Days before the UN General Assembly gathered to discuss world peace, an Iranian drone and missile attack devastated Saudi oil facilities. For years, Israel has been the lone voice calling attention to the danger the Tehran regime poses to the Middle East.

Yet an attack that threatens to destabilize global energy markets demonstrates that the best prosecutor of the case against Iran is ... Iran. As the international community meets in Turtle Bay to discuss the gravest threats to international peace and security, it must review the evidence Tehran has put forth and get serious about the regime...

All along, the United Nations has remained silent in the face of Iran's growing aggression against another member state. But Iran's mischief won't remain confined in the Middle East. In this era of social media and global transportation, it is easy for regional problems to spiral into global ones. Indeed, one of the Iranian regime's motivating principles is to export its revolutionary ideology beyond its neighborhood...

The great conceit of the nuclear deal was that it would normalize Iran's behavior. Yet Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei never intended to join the community of nations. Last year, Israel revealed the existence of a nuclear site Iran constructed in violation of the nuclear agreement. Two weeks ago, we exposed another Iranian nuclear research facility that the regime never disclosed in the nuclear deal - more proof that Iran has continually lied about its nuclear ambitions.

As the world's leaders gather in New York, they have the opportunity to refocus the discussion of international peace and security. While Israel continues to sound the alarm about Iran's genocidal ambitions, the regime itself has been steadily building its own case for why it is deserving of international sanction. We must listen."
