Iran Complains To U.N. About Israel Threatening Its Destruction

I really enjoy watching idiots act like idiots. I guess they may as well do their job, and I really appreciate those who do it well.
Iran has lodged a complaint with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon over National Infrastructure Minister Binyamin (Fuad) Ben-Eliezer’s remarks this week that Israel would destroy Iran if it was attacked first.
“An Iranian attack will prompt a severe reaction from Israel, which will destroy the Iranian nation,” Ben-Eliezer said on April 8, as the nation conducted the largest home front security drill in its history.
Teheran, the minister added, “is definitely aware of our strength. Even so, they are teasing us with their alliances with Syria and Hizbullah, and supplying them with many weapons, and we have to deal with that.”
In a letter to Ban, Iran’s UN envoy, Muhammad Khazei wrote that “The Israel regime continues making impudent threats against Iran… [Ben-Eliezer], in his April 7 remarks, which blatantly violated international law and the UN Charter, threatened the Iranian nation with destruction.”
These “shameless remarks,” Khazei’s letter continued, followed earlier claims by other Israeli officials and constituted a serious breach of the United Nations Charter. The charter forbids the use of force by a country against another nation, Khazei pointed out.
The Iranian envoy urged the Security Council to respond to Ben-Eliezer’s remarks and keep Israel from “threatening” another state in the future.
If the UN failed to do so, Khazaei warned in his letter, Israel would be “emboldened” to “continue its dangerous policies and remarks.”
