During a recent UN Security Council meeting, tensions flared as Iran confirmed its intent to defend itself against Israel's ongoing attacks. The escalation comes amidst a backdrop of increasing hostilities over Iran's nuclear program, with Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon declaring an unyielding stance until Iran's nuclear threat is eradicated.

In a fervent address, Danon insisted, "We will not stop. Not until Iran's nuclear threat is dismantled, not until its war machine is disarmed, not until our people and yours are safe." His words underscore Israel's commitment to a continuous offensive to neutralize what it perceives as a looming danger.

Iran's UN Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani called on the Security Council to intervene, expressing concern over reports that the United States might join the conflict. "We are alarmed," Iravani stated, emphasizing the need for international action as the regional conflict threatens to escalate further.
