Iran has lodged a complaint with the UN Security Council, accusing Israel of warmongering remarks that run counter to international law, Jerusalem Post‎ reported.

In a letter delivered to the UN Security Council on Friday, May 25 Iranian UN envoy Mohammad Khazayee said that comments made by Defense Minister Ehud Barak on a potential attack against Iran's nuclear sites "are considered as violation of the basic principles of the UN Charter, international rules and a move against the global endeavors to foster regional and international peace and security.”

Khazayee added in the letter that Barak's "baseless" remarks about Iran's pursuing of nuclear weapons were made by an official of a regime which threatens international and regional peace with its nuclear arsenal.
