Iran complains to UN about Israeli "threats"

* Iran demands UN respond to Israeli "threats"
* Israeli officials hint Israel could attack nuclear sites
* Obama hopes engagement will defuse crisis
UNITED NATIONS, April 14 (Reuters) - Iran on Tuesday called on the United Nations to respond firmly to what it described as Israel's "unlawful and insolent threats" to launch an attack on Tehran's nuclear installations.
Israeli officials, including President Shimon Peres, recently have suggested that the Jewish state could use military force to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons, as the West suspects it is doing.
Iran insists it is only interested in building reactors that peacefully generate electricity.
Its U.N. ambassador, in a letter to Mexican U.N. Ambassador Claude Heller, said Israel was violating the U.N. charter and urged the international body to respond clearly and resolutely. Mexico holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council.
"These outrageous threats of resorting to criminal and terrorist acts against a sovereign country and a member of the United Nations not only display the aggressive and warmongering nature of the Zionist regime, but also constitute blatant violations of international law," Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Khazaee wrote.
The letter came two days after Peres told Israel's Kol Hai radio that Israel would respond with force if Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad refused to soften his position on proceeding with an uranium enrichment program.
"We'll strike him," Peres said in the interview.
An aide to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was quoted last month by Atlantic magazine as saying the government was weighing the military option.
Khazaee said the remarks were "unlawful and insolent threats" based on "fabricated pretexts."

Israel please take them down.

This is as hilarious as Saudi Arabia complaining with Amnesty International about the "discrimination of muslims in Germany"!!! Do they all have a distorted perception of the reality? Are they on drugs???!!! >:(

This coming from a country that it's President stated that "Israel should be wiped off the map of the World".
Hypocrisy at it's best.

And the worst. This comes out of the "mouth" of a "person" who called for a caricature challenge for holocaust jokes! The winner was given a price... Such aperson has the moral stand to complain about anything? >:(

Top off your tanks, guys. If they go at it, the Strait of Hormuz will be shut down and gas will dry up possibly within hours when the real panic sets in. Stock up on canned goods and put bread in the freezer, get a breadmaker and lots of flour, beans, rice, etc. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Israel should do it for nothing but self defense.
