Following the latest Israeli threat against Iran, Iran has responded by demanding that the U.N. Security Council actually live up to the U.N. charter:

Such a dangerous threat against a sovereign state and a member of the United Nations constitutes a manifest violation of international law and contravenes the most fundamental principles of the Charter of the United Nations, and, thus, requires a resolute and clear response on the part of the United Nations, particularly the Security Council," [Iranian U.N. Ambassador Mohammad] Khazaee's letter to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, dated June 6, said.

Any bets? I'll say that the U.S. will say they'll gladly support a Security Council resolution which condemns Israel's remarks as long as it also condemns Ahmadinejad and reiterates a demand that Iran cease enriching uranium, and then will veto any resolution (if one gets that far) that doesn't do so. A resolution that is limited to condemning Israel for violating interntional law? Not going to happen, any more than a resolution condemning the U.S. for its numerous (and far more serious) violations of international law, mostly involving not just "threats" of unprovoked attack but actual unprovoked attacks.
