Israel’s UN Ambassador: Response to Iran Will Be ‘Very Painful’
Israel’s UN ambassador, Danny Danon, has reiterated that the response to Iran’s recent missile attacks will be “very painful.” This warning comes as the world awaits Israel’s counterattack following Iran’s launch of approximately 200 missiles at Tel Aviv on October 1, 2024.
Danon emphasized Israel’s authority over the decision on how they strike back at Iran, stating that they will decide about the timing and location of the response. He also highlighted that the Iranian regime is vulnerable and that this response aims to deter Iran from attacking Israel in the future.
The looming counterattack has been a subject of international concern, with U.S. President Biden urging Israel to avoid striking nuclear or oil facilities and limit the counter-strike to military sites. Despite this, Danon has expressed his belief that the world needs to take action against Iran to prevent it from becoming a nuclear power.
