Single source · United Nations, United States · 2026-11-08 03:01 UTC

Israeli UN ambassador Danny Danon says he told Iran's UN representative at the United Nations that Iran's leaders are cowards and that Tehran will pay for the terrorism it spreads. Israel National News reports that Danon also said Iran funds proxies and threatens its neighbours, and The Jerusalem Post reports that the exchange came during an Iranian attempt to block an Israeli draft resolution in the UN Sixth Committee. Both outlets relay Danon's own account, and no other source has been identified.
