1. UN
Rick S. ,   USA   (03.21.14)
And what will that accomplish? Will it stop Iran from shipping arms to the terrorists? Iran is not ashamed of what they do. They are proud of poking the West in the eyes.
2. U.S. on Iran
Walter B. ,   Georgia, U.S.   (03.21.14)
"We want UN probe! We still can't be sure..." ...and then Obama slaps sanctions on Russia and relaxes sanctions on Iran, really?!.... He is a genius.
3. UN
NIgel ,   london   (03.21.14)
And what they going to do about it ? tut a few times then let other UN bodies condemn Israel time and time again
4. If really looking for peace just follow Netanyahu........
Asher ,   NY,USA   (03.21.14)
He knows what's going on and he is sharp He sees it before it happens..He has a very good vision of facts and doesn't day dreaming...Don't waste your time.Just Listen to him
5. UN probe, an Obama scam to protect Iran from Congress action
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (03.21.14)
A UN "investigation will take 18 months and lead nowhere, just like the last investigations of Iran, and face another Russian veto. Obama's game is to forestall tougher sanctions NOW by the US Congress, protecting Iran from the effective action that Obama has been blocking. Our boob in the White House belatedly realized that by idiotically rushing to try to take credit for Israel's interception of the ship, he revealed that his administration had tracked the ship, and has plenty of proof - which US Congress leaders would demand he turn over so they can pass tougher sanctions. Note that Russia demanded that UN take no action that would derail thephony talks now going on - which Russia also just warned they would derail if they are subject to sanctions over Crimea. So the "UN investigation" is a transparent Obama move to continue what he has been doing for the last 5 years - protecting Iran and its nuclear program. This fraud will now demand that Congress "hold off" until the UN "can do its job". WATCH.
6. LOL! The ghost ship which nobody sent
Mira ,   Vienna   (03.21.14)
and nobody expected. and UN will certainly find out that it has not got anything to do with Iran though the route is quite made clear and the name even is on the cement sacks....

8. Yes.
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.21.14)
The shipment originated in Iran. A clear violation of international law with respect to the arming of terrorist organizations. The proof is clear and unequivocal. Spin that, if you can. You can't. So, let's wait and see what the United Nations does regarding this brazen and outrageous flouting of international law.
9. If Israel words are not to be trusted
FF ,   Brazil   (03.21.14)
If Israel is not to be trusted so why should Israel trust in UN, US, UK. and Iran. Mrs DiCarlo and MR grant should themselves apologise for this anti Israel suspicion and defamation.and be open about their anti semitism so the jews in US and UK could take actions with the anti defamation league.
10. Muslims have legal right to defend land from invading Jews

12. I dont hear any voices from Israel
Holy Warrior ,   Uk   (03.21.14)
pushing for a UN investigation? Is it because they fear their lies will become exposed?
13. #10 Steve the Jew Hater: So......
Jim Yakamoto ,   My Country   (03.21.14)
Do the American Indians have the same right? They tried to defend their land from the occupying White Man and got massacred for their trouble! Now they are kept in Indian "Apartheid" Reservations! Clean up your own house before you meddle in someone else's!
14. UN 'Probes'?
BUILD BABY BUILD   (03.21.14)
Other than exotic alcohol, cocaine and and hookers what 'UN Probes ' are they talking about? Other than calling a plumber for clogger pipes, the UN probes nothing of interest. KEEP BUILDING !!!!
15. #13, Yes, Native Americans, Native Palestinians, have rights

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.22.14)
Actions speak louder than words. Israel took the action; exposed Iran to the world in a brilliant defeat of an Iranian misadventure that cost Teheran tens of millions of dollars, not including the cost of the weapons which Israel found aboard the KLOS-C. Your disappointment is NOTHING compared to Iran's humiliation. Words are not necessary. But I'd have given a great deal to see a picture of Khamenei's face when he learned of Israel's brilliant interdiction of the KLOS-C. A picture speaks a thousands words, you know -- since you're looking for voices, you can start there.
