Yesterday, IRGC Brigadier General Ali Fadavi warned that Iran will “definitely” retaliate against Israel “at the suitable time and place,” adding that Israel “will be punished more severely than before.” He also said, "We will determine the time and manner of punishment for the bloodshed of Martyr Haniyeh, and it will definitely be done."
This is just the latest of a series of dozens of explicit threats of military and terrorist action by Iran against Israel since late July.
Lest we forget, the UN Charter, Article 1, Paragraph 1, says:
The Purposes of the United Nations are: To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;
One cannot even imagine a more textbook case of threats to peace than the literal threats to attack Israel by Iran. This sort of thing is why the UN was created to begin with.
But not a public word of rebuke against Iran.
This is why the UN was created. Not only to stop wars after they start, but to prevent wars from starting to begin with.
There are plenty of examples of UN duplicity, hypocrisy, bias and antisemitism. But what it doesn't do is just as noteworthy as what it does.
The UN refuses to do the bare minimum to adhere to its own founding principles.
If the UN cannot bring itself to say or do anything about explicit military threats from a member state to another member state, then it is literally useless.
