Imagine Israel, of all countries, crying to the UN, of all organizations, about a purported "flagrant violation of narional sovereignty, international law and Security Council resolutions."
I laughed out loud when I read that. As if that isn't exactly what Israel does virtually on a daily basis, and has done for decades now, and while thumbing their nose at the UN the entire time.

It was always thus, in this as in many other contexts. If phase 1 is "You can't stop me, rules mean nothing, I will do as I please," it's a good bet that by phase 3 we'll arrive at "OMG what is happening now is against the rules, won't someone step in and make sure I come to no harm, we need justice."

Israel is like the short guy in your group of friends always ready to brawl...

And he's currently trying to distract everyone's attention from mounting evidence that he's a serial killer.

Wait according to Israeli accusations, how did Iran break international law? By using missles despite UN resolution 2231?
Last I checked (and IANAL) attacking military targets in reponse to military aggression is not in violation of international law.
