Israel accuses at the UN of «hypocrites» those who condemn attacks against Iran.
«When a regime chants ‘Death to Israel, death to America’, we take it seriously, we believe them and we act», he stated.
However, the ambassador did not provide details about the death of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, suggested by President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
«We will continue to attack the leaders of the radical regime and do everything necessary to create the right conditions for a new future for the Iranian people and the stability of the region», he stated in this regard.
«Our objectives are clear: first, to eliminate the immediate threat represented by the Iranian regime. Second, to dismantle its nuclear program. Third, to destroy its ballistic missile production capacity», Danon stated.
The Israeli representative appeared minutes before the Security Council meeting urgently convened due to the US attacks.
Israel's ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, accused on Saturday the organization's Secretary-General, António Guterres, and the member states that condemn the joint attack with the United States against Iran.
«Unfortunately, we have heard condemnations from some members of this Council and the Secretary-General of the UN. That is hypocrisy. We all know where the escalation really began», he told the media.
