On Sunday, Israel’s UN envoy urged the Security Council to impose all possible sanctions against Iran after the Islamic Republic’s unprecedented attack against Israel.
Ambassador Gilad Erdan told the body, calling on countries to impose all possible sanctions on Iran before it’s too late. Erdan said, ‘Today the council must take action and condemn Iran for their terror’.
Iran’s United Nations envoy told the Security Council that the Islamic Republic was exercising its inherent right to self-defence in its unprecedented attack on Israel.
“Even while under attack from Iran, we have not lost sight—not for one moment—of our critical mission in Gaza to rescue our hostages from the hands of Iran’s-proxy Hamas.”

‘The Security Council failed in its duty to maintain international peace and security after Israel’s strike on an Iranian consulate in Damascus earlier this month’, said Amir Saeid Iravani.
‘Therefore, Tehran had no choice but to respond’, he said. He further added that his country does not seek escalation but will respond to any threat.
‘The mask is off. Iran, the number one global sponsor of terror, has exposed its true face as the destabilizer of the region and the world’, Israel’s UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan
