Today, Ambassador Ron Prosor, spoke during the UN Security Council’s Open Debate on “The Situation in the Middle East.” He warned that Iran is continuing its steady march towards developing nuclear weapons. “Rouhani is like the Emperor with new clothes – cloaking himself as a moderate when in fact Iranian radicalism remains clear to the naked eye.”

Ambassador Prosor also explained that 17 different countries peacefully produce nuclear energy without the uranium enrichment or plutonium production that Iran is insisting on. Regarding the sanctions, Ambassador Prosor described: “Any sort of partial deal will be completely ineffective in containing the Iranian threat You don’t need a PhD in physics to know that pressure works. ”

Israel’s Ambassador to the UN also addressed the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons against its citizens and the ongoing incitement in Palestinian society. Please find the full text of his remarks here.
