New York, March 25 (ANI) — Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, said Tuesday he was not aware of any negotiations involving Iran, the United States and Israel. Speaking to reporters at the UN, Danon reiterated that Israel’s top priority remains preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear capability and said Israeli military operations would continue alongside the United States.
Danon rejected reports of Israeli participation in talks and stressed that diplomacy would follow military action. He said any eventual agreement must ensure Iran cannot obtain nuclear or ballistic-missile capabilities and must meet the objectives Israel outlined a month ago.
Framing Israel as a stabilizing force and Iran as a source of regional instability, Danon accused Tehran of aggressive behavior across the region. “One should ask which nation brings stabilization and which brings chaos,” he said, noting that Iran has struck multiple countries in a recent period while Israel, in his view, had not been at war with as many states over its 77-year existence.
Addressing the UN Security Council earlier, Danon accused Iran of arming and funding proxy groups such as Hamas. He said Israel, together with the US, has carried out thousands of strikes against Iranian military infrastructure. According to Danon, more than 8,500 strikes have targeted missile launchers, weapons production facilities and command centers, degrading Iran’s command structure and eliminating key figures behind the aggression.
He warned the international community against what he characterized as Iranian attempts to “blackmail” global powers and emphasized the danger if missiles were armed with nuclear warheads. At the same time, Danon acknowledged the human and regional costs of the campaign for Israelis, neighboring Gulf states and the Iranian population, but said the actions were necessary in the face of what Israel views as an existential threat.
Danon described conditions under sustained missile fire and pointed to recent strikes on civilian areas in Arad and Dimona as examples of the toll on Israeli civilians.
His remarks followed statements by the US president indicating talks with Iran were underway and suggesting the conflict could be approaching an end, with US assessments that Iran’s military capabilities have been significantly degraded. Tehran has not formally confirmed any negotiations; Iranian officials have denied that talks are taking place and have said peace would require an end to US and Israeli military actions.
Meanwhile, Iran has continued retaliatory strikes, with reports of successive waves of attacks (including a reported 80th wave), leaving prospects for a rapid resolution uncertain. (ANI)
