Danon called the Iranian leaders cowards and warned of consequences, while telling the Iranian people they would reclaim their country.

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon confronted Iran's UN representative during a meeting of the UN Sixth Committee, accusing the Iranian regime of funding terrorist proxies, rebuilding nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities, blocking the Strait of Hormuz, and murdering 50,000 innocent Iranians. Danon warned that Iran's threats extend beyond Israel to the United States, Gulf states, and Europe, citing a map of dozens of targets published in Tehran. Addressing the Iranian envoy directly, Danon said: 'You are a coward, and your leaders are cowards hiding underground. Sit quietly with your head down and be grateful that you are allowed to sit here. The price you will pay for the terrorism you spread has only begun to be exacted.' He also told the Iranian people: 'Soon, you will reclaim your country and bring this evil regime to justice once and for all.' The confrontation took place amid an Iranian attempt to prevent Israel from coordinating a draft resolution in the committee.
