“Repeated Iranian and Iranian-sponsored terrorist attacks at sea not only jeopardize the safety and security of international shipping in flagrant violation of international conventions and norms relating to maritime safety and navigation, but also constitute blatant and repeated violations of the United Nations Charter and of Security Council Resolutions."
He demanded that the council condemn the Iranian regime “for this attack and for destabilising the region.”
The ambassador’s comments come days after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also blamed Iran for the attack.
As reported by AP, he told Israeli public broadcaster Kan: “It was indeed an act by Iran, that’s clear.”
“Iran is the greatest enemy of Israel, I am determined to halt it. We are hitting it in the entire region.”
Iranian officials have denied any responsibility for the blast.
