Israeli Representative at UN: Iran's Attack on Cyprus is a Sign of Desperation

Israel's Permanent Representative to the UN, Danny Danon, stated that the joint US-Israel operation against Iran is a response to desperation on the part of Tehran, emphasizing the determination of the two countries. Danon accused Iran of launching missiles not only towards Israel but also to other countries in the region, including Cyprus, characterizing this as a sign of panic. He argued that the attacks target military infrastructure, while Iran targets civilians and its own people. He expressed Israel's and the US's determination to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, stating that they will continue their operations as long as necessary.
