U.S. Amb. Nikki Haley Tells UN: "Nearly Every Threat to Peace and Security in the Middle East Is Connected to Iran"
(U.S. Mission to the UN) U.S. UN Ambassador Nikki Haley told the Security Council on Wednesday: "We can't talk about stability in the Middle East without talking about Iran. That's because nearly every threat to peace and security in the Middle East is connected to Iran's outlaw behavior....Iran must be judged in totality of its aggressive, destabilizing, and unlawful behavior. To do otherwise would be foolish." "The Security Council has repeatedly passed resolutions aimed at addressing Iranian support for terrorism and regional conflicts. But Iran has repeatedly thumbed its nose at those efforts. Worse, the regime continues to play this Council. Iran hides behind its assertion of technical compliance with the nuclear deal while it brazenly violates the other limits on its behavior. And we have allowed them to get away with it. This must stop."
