Iran protested to the United Nations on Saturday over a warning by an Israeli minister that it faces attack over its contested nuclear programme, the official IRNA news agency reported.

The protest came in a letter from Iran's mission at the United Nations to the UN Security Council and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, it said.

"The Israeli regime has been emboldened by the Security Council's indifference and... in blatant violation of the principles of the United Nations continues to threaten Iran with force," the protest said.

It urged a "firm response" from the Security Council to the remarks from Israeli deputy prime minister Shaul Mofaz, who is also transport minister.
