Iran Whines About Israel

I was just listening to a webcast from the BBC I think, which is reporting that Iran's United Nations ambassador has complained in a letter that the United Nations Security Council has done nothing to stop Israel's unlawful and dangerous threats to his country.

It said that Javad Zarif protested a recent statement from Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz that Israel has not ruled out military action against Iran to disable its nuclear program. He also referred to a similar statement that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert made in April.

Isn't it kind of humorous that a country such as Iran whose President Mahmud Ahmadinejad, regularly threatens total annihilation of Isreal, and their ambassador has the gaul to write and complain that Israel threatens their country. If Iran's President wasn't a psycho hell bent on acquiring nuclear weapons to use against Israel and his neighbors they would not have to worry about unlawful and dangerous threats to Iran.

The Security Council imposed sanctions on Iran in December for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment, and modestly increased them in March after Tehran stepped up the program, which can produce nuclear weapons. Iran responded by giving the U.N. nuclear watchdog less access to its nuclear facilities.

In an interview on Israeli Radio on June 9, Mofaz said, I never said there is no military option, and the military option is included in all the options that are on the table, but at this time it's right to use the path of sanctions, and to intensify them. Israel's Deputy U.N. Ambassador Daniel Carmon dismissed the letter as face-saving.

Zarif sent another letter to Ban on June 13, protesting the arrest of five Iranians by U.S. forces in northern Iraq in January.

The U.S. military has said the Iranians, whom they alleged are connected to a faction that funds and arms insurgents in Iraq, were working in a government liaison office in Irbil in Kurdish-controlled Iraq. Iran has maintained the five were diplomats and were arrested at a consulate.

In addition to the above accusations against Iran, The United States also accuses Iran of helping to provide roadside bombs that have killed American troops in Iraq, and a bitter standoff already exists between the two countries over Iran's nuclear program. Iran has rejected the allegations.

If Iran wants to not be threatened with violence from other countries, they should immediately refrain from causing violence to their neighbors, by providing training to Iragi insurgents, safe haven for other terrorists, and for providing weapons and bombs that are killing Americans, Iraqi's, Israeli's, and Lebanese. If they choose to continue being the evil behind the scenes, they will soon get a taste of there own violence, on their own soil, and deservedly so!!
