Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, has said his country is not part of alleged talks between the US and Iran that are speculated to be held later this week.
Danon told UN reporters today that the US, along with Israel, was continuing to hit “military targets in Iran, and we will continue to do that”. The strikes first launched by the two allies on Iran have “accomplished a lot”, he said, but not everything.
Danon added that Israel is bent on ensuring Iran has no capabilities for nuclear or ballistic missiles. The envoy further accused Iranian authorities of saying, weeks earlier, that Iran did not have intermediate-range missiles – then allegedly firing a missile 4,000km (2,485 miles) towards the Diego Garcia island, which hosts an important US/UK army base.
Iran denied that it carried out the attack on the remote Indian Ocean location yesterday. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Sunday said the alliance could not confirm Israel’s claim that the projectiles used were Iranian intercontinental ballistic missiles.
