Iran asks UN to condemn Israeli threats, remove 'all Israeli nuclear weapons'

"The United Nations' members should not turn a blind eye to these threats and must take firms actions to eliminate all Israeli nuclear weapons," the Fars news agency quoted Iran's ambassador to the U.N. Gholamali Khoshrou as saying in letters to the U.N. secretary general and the Security Council.

Iran has asked the United Nations to condemn Israeli threats against Tehran and bring Israel's nuclear program under its supervision, Iranian state media reported on Thursday.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used a visit to an Israeli atomic reactor in late August to warn the country's enemies that it has the means to destroy them, in what appeared to be a veiled reference to its assumed nuclear arsenal.

"The United Nations' members should not turn a blind eye to these threats and must take firms actions to eliminate all Israeli nuclear weapons," the Fars news agency quoted Iran's ambassador to the U.N. Gholamali Khoshrou as saying in letters to the U.N. secretary general and the Security Council.

Khoshrou asked the U.N. to force Israel to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and bring its nuclear program under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency, a U.N. atomic watchdog.

Israel, which is outside the NPT, neither confirms nor denies having the bomb, a decades-old "ambiguity" policy that it says keeps hostile neighbors in check while avoiding the kind of public provocations that can spark regional arms races.

Israel is trying to lobby world powers to follow the United States in exiting the 2015 deal with Iran that capped the Islamic republic's nuclear capabilities in return for the lifting of sanctions.

The Israelis deem the agreement insufficient for denying Tehran the means to eventually get the bomb - something Tehran, which is a signatory to the 1970 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, denies wanting.

Since its 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran has preached Israel's destruction. It backs the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah and the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. Israel sees the deployment of Iranian forces in Syria as Tehran creating working to establish another front on Israel's border.
