11/19/2018 “While this Council remains focused on the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, it ignores other very serious conflicts in the Middle East. One has in recent months come to the doorstep of Europe and the United States. That is the continued evidence of increased international terrorist activity by the Iranian regime. Iranian assassinations of political opponents are as old as the Islamic Republic itself.

Iranian malign behavior does not just target one country, it targets us all.” –Ambassador Nikki Haley By United States Mission to the United Nations | 19 November, 2018 | Topics: Exclude, Highlights | Tags: Archive 2017-2021 Suggested for You Remarks at a UN Security Council Briefing on Afghanistan Remarks by Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield at a Dinner for the Second U.S.-Pacific Islands Forum Summit in Washington, D.C.
