Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar is urging the U.N. Security Council to condemn Iran and designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization.

Sa’ar stated that he sent the letter on Tuesday to the council and its current president, Mike Waltz, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, calling for immediate action following recent Iranian strikes.

“The Iranian regime’s recent actions underscore that its aggression constitutes a direct threat not only to Israel, but to regional and international peace and security,” Sa’ar wrote in a social media post announcing the letter.

‘If we left right now, it would take Iran 20, 25 years to rebuild,’ the U.S. president said. ‘And we’re not finished at all.’
The New York City mayor said his administration did not initiate contact with Iran’s U.N. ambassador while reiterating that the city is reviewing whether it could enforce an International Criminal Court warrant against the Israeli prime minister.
Unveiling the findings at its new office in Jerusalem, the think tank said its analysis of a 758-page Turkish government document points to a long-term strategy that threatens Israel, the Middle East and the free world.
