(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Israeli Minister of Defense Benny Gantz told ambassadors of UN Security Council member countries on Wednesday: "Amir Ali Hajizadeh, Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp's Air Force, is behind dozens of terror attacks in the region employing UAVs and missiles....The man who is directly responsible for the launch of suicide UAVs - his name is Saeed Ara Jani and he is the Head of the IRGC's UAV Command. The UAV Command conducted the attack on the Mercer Street. Saeed Ara Jani plans and provides the training and equipment to conduct terror attacks in the region." "Iran is responsible for dozens of terror attacks across the Middle East, while controlling its proxies in Yemen, Iraq and additional countries. Iran has violated all of the guidelines set in the JCPOA and is only around 10 weeks away from acquiring weapons-grade materials necessary for a nuclear weapon....It is time for diplomatic, economic and even military deeds - otherwise the attacks will continue. The Iranian people are not our enemy. The Iranian regime is threatening us and sparking a regional arms race." Foreign Minister Yair Lapid added: "This is an attack on the world's trade routes; this is an attack on freedom of movement. This is an international crime. So my question to you is: What is the international community going to do about it? Is there still such a thing as international law? And does the world have the ability and willpower to enforce the law? If the answer is 'yes,' the world should act now."
