TEHRAN - Iranian Ambassador to the United Nations Majid Takht Ravanchi has called for an action by the UN Security Council (UNSC) to tackle rising Israeli threats to Tehran's nuclear program, Tasnim news agency reported Wednesday.

In a letter to the UNSC on Tuesday, Takht Ravanchi said over the past months, the number and intensity of Israel's "provocative and adventuristic threats" to Iran's nuclear program have consistently grown and reached an alarming level.

The Iranian envoy referred to the latest remarks by Israeli senior military officials of "operational plans against Iran's nuclear program," saying that "such systematic explicit and public threats by the Israeli regime against a founding member of the United Nations constitute flagrant violations of international law."
