Israel has called on the UN Security Council to condemn and adopt sanctions against Iran on the grounds that the Islamic Republic is a “state that threatens security in international waters.”
This is stated in the letter of the Permanent Representative of Israel to the UN Gilad Erd to the UN Security Council.
Erda accused Iran of attacking an Israeli ship Mercer Street en route from Tanzania to the UAE on July 29 in the Indian Ocean. The incident killed two crew members – citizens of Great Britain and Romania.
According to the diplomat, this attack is another example of Iranian terrorism on the high seas.
“Iran’s audacity and lethality is a serious violation of the UN Charter and international law. These actions not only threaten the security of international shipping and shipping and undermine world trade, but also destabilize the rapidly changing situation in the region, “said the Permanent Representative of Israel to the UN.
Erda stressed that “the UN should not remain silent on the issue of offenses by terrorist organizations supported by Iran in all parts of the region.”
