Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon sharply criticized Iran’s representative at the United Nations amid an Iranian attempt to prevent Israel from coordinating a draft resolution in the UN Sixth Committee, warning of the threat posed by the Iranian regime to European countries and the free world.

“Your regime funds terrorist proxies, rebuilds nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities, blocks the Strait of Hormuz, and murders 50,000 innocent Iranians,” Danon said.

“First, you threatened Israel, then the United States and the Gulf states, and now Europe as well, with a map of dozens of targets published in Tehran.”

Addressing the Iranian representative directly, Danon warned: “You think you can intimidate us? You are a coward, and your leaders are cowards hiding underground. Sit quietly with your head down and be grateful that you are allowed to sit here. The price you will pay for the terrorism you spread has only begun to be exacted.”

To the Iranian people, Danon said: “Soon, you will reclaim your country and bring this evil regime to justice once and for all.”
