Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations has called on the Security Council to reject Israel’s deceptions and confront its adventurism in the region. In a tweet, Majid Takht-Ravanchi noted that the Israeli regime and its allies made an abortive attempt to present fake information on the Mercer Street tanker incident to the Council. The US has claimed that evidence shows last week's attack on the Israeli-managed tanker was conducted by a drone made in Iran. The foreign ministers of G-7 have echoed the claim, first made by Israel. Iran has rejected the allegation, saying Israel is trying to divert world attention from its crimes and inhumane practices in the region. Tel Aviv says it is ready to strike Iran in retaliation for the attack. Iran has warned of a crushing response to any such move.
