The US Mission to the United Nations said Monday it wanted the UN Security Council to talk about Sunday’s launch of a medium-range missile, which defies UN sanctions. Ambassador Nikki Haley is expected to take part in the meeting. Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Dannon called for the Security Council to “act immediately in response to these Iranian actions which endanger not only Israel, but the entire Middle East.”
