Iran’s Permanent Representative Amir Saeid Iravani, alleged Israel’s attack was meant to kill diplomacy, to sabotage negotiations, and to drag the region into wider conflict. On the other hand, Israel’s Permanent Representative Danny Danon defended his country’s action, calling it an act of national preservation. He displayed a picture of a countdown clock in Tehran that was timed to its plan to annihilate Israel. UN Under-Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo said that the Security Council’s Emergency session was convened at the request of Iran.
