Israel Urges World Powers to Punish Iran for Missile Violations
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday evening "instructed the Foreign Ministry to contact the P5+1 countries and demand that immediate punitive measures be taken in the wake of Iran's repeated and gross violations on the missiles issue," the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement. "This is an important step in and of itself and is also a test of the major powers in enforcing the nuclear agreement." Iran's Revolutionary Guard conducted a series of ballistic missile tests last week. Israel's Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon wrote in an urgent letter to members of the Security Council on Saturday that Iran's missile test is "a gross violation" of Security Council Resolution 2231, which endorsed the nuclear agreement between Iran and the P5+1 group (six world powers), while restricting Iran from firing missiles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.
