Iran pushes to boot Israel out of UN after Syria strike

Iran’s foreign ministry is calling for an arms embargo on Israel and the country’s expulsion from the United Nations following a deadly strike in Syria.

Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei says Tehran “strongly condemned the aggressive attack carried out today by the Zionist regime against a residential building” in the Damascus area.

The strike on an apartment belonging to Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah killed nine people, according to Syria’s state-affiliated Shams FM news outlet. The dead included a Hezbollah commander, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor says.
