Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, criticized Iran’s UN representative as “a wolf in sheep’s clothing” in a tense session of the Security Council before the US launched strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran.
After the US attacks on nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, President Donald Trump declared they were “completely destroyed.” Iran’s Ambassador to the UN, Amir Saeid Iravani, called for an immediate “emergency meeting” of the Security Council to strongly condemn the US actions and ensure they face repercussions.
In a letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, Iravani stated, “The Islamic Republic of Iran urgently appeals to the Security Council to hold an emergency meeting promptly to address this flagrant and illegal act of hostility.”
In a press briefing, Tel Aviv’s Mayor Ron Huldai said the damage in his city was “very extensive but in terms of human life, we are okay.”
“Houses here were hit very, very badly,” he said, adding that “fortunately, one of them was slated for demolition and reconstruction, so there were no residents inside. Those who were in the shelter are all safe and well.”
In Nes Ziona, a town just south of Tel Aviv, a house was directly hit by a missile and the surrounding buildings destroyed, but, according to Israeli media reports, the families were in their shelter.
Israel’s home front command on Sunday put the country back onto emergency footing, days after some of the restrictions on commercial centers and larger gatherings had been eased.
