"Iran will pay for its attempts to threaten and hurt Israel," said Israel's Permanent Representative to the UN Danny Danon.
„Iran cannot continue to hide behind its proxies and as long as it continues to threaten and try to harm us, it will pay the price,” he wrote in a statement commenting on Tehran's call for security UN Council meeting on Israeli strike scheduled for October 28.
Danone also said Israel “will stand its ground and use all means at its disposal to protect its citizens”. In his statement, the diplomat also called it "ridiculous" statement by Iran that the Israeli attack was a violation of international law.
A day before, the Iranian mission also called on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the Security Council to take a firm stand and categorically and unequivocally condemn the Israeli attack. Tehran also noted that it reserves the right to a legal and legitimate response after the Israeli strike.
