BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 1. Israel, in
coordination with the United States, has undertaken measures to
address what it considers a growing threat from Iran’s nuclear
program and regional activities, Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny
Danon said at the UN Security Council meeting on the Middle East,
Trend reports.
Danon said the operation targeted nuclear infrastructure,
missile production sites, and elements of Iran’s network of
regional proxies. He emphasized that the measures were taken after
diplomatic efforts were exhausted and were intended to reduce the
risk posed to Israel and its neighbors.
“This operation was carried out to address an immediate threat
and to prevent further escalation. Our goal is to protect civilians
and ensure regional stability,” Danon said.
He also highlighted concerns over Iran’s continued uranium
enrichment, missile development, and support for armed groups in
the region, describing these activities as destabilizing. Recent
missile and drone attacks have affected several countries in the
region, including the UAE, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and
Iraq, with civilian casualties reported in Tel Aviv.
Danon noted that the actions are guided by clear objectives: to
mitigate nuclear risks, reduce missile threats, and limit
destabilizing activities, while ensuring that measures are
consistent with international law and the UN Charter.
