Amid growing unrest in Iran, Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon issued a warning to the Iranian regime. Danon stated Israel is closely monitoring Iran, is in "high readiness" with both defensive and offensive capabilities, and advised Iran not to test them. He alluded to Israel's knowledge of Iran's ballistic missile locations and referenced "Operation Rising Lion" in June 2025, an Israeli operation aimed at destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities, later joined by the U.S. Danon emphasized that any decision regarding action against Iran ultimately rests with the United States, a decision Israel would respect. The warning comes as Iran cautioned President Trump against taking action against its Supreme Leader, while both the U.S. and Israel have voiced support for Iranian protesters.
