On Wednesday, Israel's ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, sent an official letter to the Security Council, calling on it to curb the threat of Iran's missile program.
Danon wrote that the launch on February 6 of a Safir Satellite Launch Vehicle "demonstrates a blatant and utter disregard for the international community's urgent call for Iran to cease this type of activity as it is in clear violation of Security Council Resolution 2231 (2015)."
"The international community should see this as one provocative act in the larger context of Iranian hostile ballistic missile activity," the letter continues. "Iran's rogue efforts to advance its ballistic missile program threatens not only its neighboring countries and the wider Middle East, but much of Europe as well."
In the course of violating numerous Security Council resolutions, Iran "has become the largest proliferator of ballistic and other missile technologies to Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iraq, including delivering these capabilities into the hands of non-state and terrorist actors. I call on the Security Council to join the nations and union of States that have already taken measures to curb the threat of Iranian missiles."
Ambassador Danon also sent a copy of this official letter to the Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres.
