“Iran has struck more Arab countries than Israel has in its entire existence. This is a regime going down and trying to set the entire region on fire as it falls. It will not work.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Danny Danon, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Israel:
“Be patient. We are advancing. It is only a matter of time before the rocket fire is minimized and their capabilities are dismantled. Every day, their capabilities shrink. Every hour, we, together with the US, degrade, destroy and dismantle the launch sites and stockpiles.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Danny Danon, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Israel:
“You know, sometimes in times like these, people can get overwhelmed by the reports, by the headlines. A few are even asking, “Was that threat really all that serious?” So, let me make it clear. This is what we are facing…This is the engine and the wing of an Iranian Shahed 136 attack drone acquired by the watchdog united against nuclear Iran. Not a prop, not a toy: a weapon.”

“We will find and hunt down whoever is plotting against Israel. I don't care what will be his name, who was his father. We will haunt him down. And I think they know it in the leadership in Iran today.”

Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon said that diplomacy will come into action with Iran, but “not yet: We have to finish the job. We have to dismantle the machine of terror.”
Ambassador Danon spoke to reporters today (5 Mar) in New York.
He said, “Iran has struck more Arab countries than Israel has in its entire existence. This is a regime going down and trying to set the entire region on fire as it falls. It will not work.”
He continued, “Be patient. We are advancing. It is only a matter of time before the rocket fire is minimized and their capabilities are dismantled. Every day, their capabilities shrink. Every hour, we, together with the US, degrade, destroy and dismantle the launch sites and stockpiles.”
He stressed, “You know, sometimes in times like these, people can get overwhelmed by the reports, by the headlines. A few are even asking, “Was that threat really all that serious?” So, let me make it clear. This is what we are facing…This is the engine and the wing of an Iranian Shahed 136 attack drone acquired by the watchdog united against nuclear Iran. Not a prop, not a toy: a weapon.”
He stated, “Everything is severely degraded. This is what happens when the US and Israel act together: an extraordinary combination of unmatched power exercised with precision and resolve.”
He concluded, “We will dismantle them. We will finish this job.”
Answering a question about the future Iranian leadership, he said, “We will find and hunt down whoever is plotting against Israel. I don't care what will be his name, who was his father. We will haunt him down. And I think they know it in the leadership in Iran today.”
