Iran To Protest Israeli “Military Threats” In UN

Tell us again about how international law is not a joke. Let’s hear that story:

Iran has complained to the United Nations over a “series of threats” after an Israeli official refused to rule out a military strike against the Islamic republic, the IRNA agency reports. Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations, submitted the complaint to Secretary General Kofi Annan and the Security Council on Friday following the comments by Israeli Deputy Defence Minister Ephraim Sneh. “The letter, underlining threats from Sneh and other Israeli officials, regards these statements as illegal, ridiculous and a sign of the Zionist regime’s criminal policies and terrorist intentions,” the state agency said.

Earlier today we refused to insult you by linking to all of the reasons that Israel might distrust UNIFIL. If that’s the standard, there is no way we’re going to give you the links to why Iran complaining about threats from Israel is the most brazen and shameless act in the history of thought. But do consider: they think that this is something that will be productive for them. They have looked at the situation at the UN and said “you know what, we’re not going to get laughed out of here – they’re actually going to pretend to agree with us”.
