By Haaretz Service and The Associated Press

Minister of Strategic Threats Avigdor Lieberman on Tuesday sent a letter to new United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon asking him to revoke Iran’s UN membership, Army Radio reported.

Lieberman also called to pressure the UN Security Council to impose significant sanctions on Iran, according to the radio. “If the world allows Iran to achieve nuclear capability, Israel will be the first to pay the price,” he wrote.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad scorned the Security Council’s imposing sanctions on Iran, telling a crowd Tuesday that Iran had humiliated the United States in the past and would do so again.
