Israel and Iran accused one another at the United Nations

Israel and Iran accused one another at the United Nations of being the main threat to peace in the Middle East, each calling on the Security Council to impose sanctions on their sworn enemy.

Israel's UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan told an emergency meeting of the Security Council convened after Tehran's unprecedented attack on Israel overnight, that Iran is the ‘number one global sponsor of terror’.

Erdan asked the Security Council to designate the Revolutionary Guards, the Islamic Republic's ideological army, as a terrorist organization and to ‘impose all possible sanctions on Iran before it's too late’.
