Israel’s UN Ambassador on Looming Counter-Attack: Iran Will ‘Think Twice’ Before Striking Israel Again
Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon has emphasized that Israel will not hesitate to respond to any further aggression from Iran. In a statement, Danon warned Iran, saying, “I would not advise Iran to challenge our determination, our capabilities. In the past, we have proved it. We will prove it again.” This comes after Iran launched a massive ballistic missile attack on Israel, prompting warnings of countermeasures from Israel and its main ally, the United States.
Iran has vowed to retaliate if Israel takes any action against its territory, with Iranian General Mohammad Bagheri warning that Iran will hit Israel’s infrastructure if necessary. However, Israel has assured the Biden administration that any planned retaliatory attack will not target nuclear and oil facilities, according to U.S. officials.
The situation remains tense, with the United Nations Security Council holding an emergency meeting to address the escalating conflict. The UN has called for a de-escalation in the region, while Israel continues to prepare for potential further attacks from Iran.
