Brev till FN:s säkerhesrådet om Iran

Israel sände i går ett brev till FN:s säkerhetsråd med anledning av att Iran under den senaste veckan flera gånger hotade med att utplåna Israel.

Excellency, 
Over the past several days, the most senior Iranian leaders have issued yet another series of outrageous statements, which called for the destruction of Israel and spread the vile antisemitism that forms the core of their ideology.
Yesterday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, publicly stated that "Zionism is a danger for entire humanity" and that Israel "is a cancerous tumor…in [the] heart of [the] Muslim world."
In remarks last Friday, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that the "the very existence of the Zionist regime is…an affront to all world nations" - and called on "all human communities to wipe out this scarlet letter, meaning the Zionist regime, from the forehead of humanity."
Iran's President repeated a number of antisemitic conspiracy theories and slurs, including that "the two world wars were designed by Zionists ... [who] have been inflicting very heavy damage and suffering on the whole humanity for over two thousand years."
On the same day, General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, Commander of the Aero-Space Forces of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, threatened that Iran would take action to destroy Israel, saying "the forged regime will be wiped out of the map and thrown into the trash bin of history forever."
These are just a few examples of the hate speech that we heard echoing from the pulpits, podiums, and television sets in Iran during the past several days. Iran - a member state of the United Nations - continues to declare that it seeks the destruction of Israel, another UN Member State...
