YERUSHALAYIM (Reuters) - Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called for world powers to take “immediate punitive steps” against Iran, following its ballistic missile tests last week.

A series of tests conducted by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards caused international concern, with the United States, France and other countries saying that, if confirmed, the launch of nuclear-capable ballistic missiles would violate U.N. Security Council resolution 2231.

Netanyahu has been vehemently opposed to the international deal with Iran which led to the lifting of economic sanctions in January, and his position has put him at odds with U.S. President Barack Obama.

A statement from Netanyahu’s office said he had instructed the Foreign Ministry to appeal to the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and Germany, the powers who negotiated the nuclear deal with Iran, to act.

Prime Minister Netanyahu will likely have to await President Trump.

[Logical me]

King Obama gave them them billions to buy fuel for the rockets. Remember the billions to Iran?

I have countless reasons to despise BHO, but the disrespect and arrogance he has shown to Israel and of course, Bibi ~ is one of the top five reasons I have for despising that turd... I may be considered a Neo/Zionist by some, but they can all line up to kiss me Christian arse!

God bless the USA & God bless Israel.

YERUSHALAYIM huh — who knew?

Couldn’t agree with you more.

I don’t consider Zionist to be a dirty word.

I may not realize the full meaning, but if it means a homeland for the Jews were they don’t have to worry about being loaded up in box-cars and being transported to interment camps, being live test subjects, and gas chambers, it works for me.
