Iran accuses U.S. Navy of "illegal" acts in Gulf

UNITED NATIONS Iran is accusing the U.S. Navy of carrying out "illegal and provocative acts" in the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman.

In identical letters to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the Security Council, Iran's U.N. Ambassador Mohammad Khazaee said the Navy repeatedly violated the country's airspace.

He cited flights over the coastal areas of Bushehr on seven occasions in October and most recently a U.S. drone flight on Nov. 1 which disregarded all radio warnings and penetrated Iranian airspace.

The letters, circulated Friday, urged Ban to warn the U.S. "against the continuation of acts in violation of international law and of the adverse consequences of any provocative and dangerous acts for which the United States government would be held responsible."

I suspect that some some sincere presidential bowing help matters?

Is Iran really complaining to the same UN that they thumb their noses at while they pursue their nuclear weapon program?

Note that CBS puts "illegal" in quotes.

After the Bush and Obama years illegal is what ever the dominant power says it is.

Iran: Have a nice day.
Americans: They learned to love the bomb too.

Iran: Can we talk?
Americans: They kidnapped Joan Rivers.

Iran: Never floss with a stranger.
Americans: SEE!
