Iran on Monday condemned “Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's call to "finish the job" against the Islamic republic as a breach to the UN Charter.

 

"Threatening others is both a gross violation of international law and the United Nations Charter," foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei told reporters, adding that the Israeli Occupation "can't do a thing" against Iran.

 

Yesterday, Netanyahu said “Israel” will “finish the job” against the Iranian threat with US support, in a press conference with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who started a Middle East Tour with Tel Aviv being his first stop, and is now heading to Saudi Arabia.

 

"Over the last 16 months, Israel has dealt a mighty blow to Iran's terror access under the strong leadership of President (Donald) Trump and with your unflinching support, I have no doubt that we can and will finish the job." Netanyahu said, adding "Israel and America stand shoulder to shoulder in countering the threat of Iran."

 

For his part, Rubio called Iran the “greatest” source of instability in the Middle East, and vowed that Iran would never become a nuclear power.

 

"There can never be a nuclear Iran, a nuclear Iran that could then hold itself immune from pressure and from action. That can never happen.”
