Israeli Ambassador to UN: Iranian Missiles Reach Deep into Europe

The Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, accused Iran of concealing the true capabilities of its missile program. He stated that recent launches towards the Diego Garcia base, almost 4,000 kilometers away, demonstrate that Tehran has developed missiles with a range much greater than it officially claims. Danon argued that Iranian missiles can reach as far as Paris, London, Athens, and other European cities, covering a distance of 4,000 kilometers, twice the range claimed by Iran. He warned that if this technology were to double, it could even reach American territory. The ambassador emphasized that the threat is not limited to the Middle East but concerns international security as a whole, characterizing Iran as a “global” issue rather than simply a “regional problem.” He appealed to European governments to abandon the perception that this is a distant crisis, as the threat now touches other regions as well. Regarding Gaza, Danon stated that Israel fully supports Trump's peace plan, but any transition to the second phase of political or humanitarian management requires the complete disarmament of Hamas. He also mentioned that there is no knowledge of Israeli involvement in potential talks between Iran and the US, but military operations continue.
