Iran Complains to UN over of U.S. Drone Incursion

[ Tehran Times ] 9 Dec

The Iranian ambassador to the United Nations has called on the UN to condemn the recent violation of Iranian airspace by a U.S. spy drone RQ-170, that intruded some 250 kilometers inside Iranian territory up to the northern region of the city of Tabas, where it was eventually shot down.

Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Khazaii made the plea in a letter sent Thursday to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, General Assembly President Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, and Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s UN ambassador who holds the rotating Security Council presidency for December.
