Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon, slammed Iran’s UN representative as “a wolf disguised as a diplomat,” during a fiery session of the Security Council on Saturday, hours before the US struck three nuclear sites in Iran. 

Following the US strike on nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, which President Donald Trump said had been “totally obliterated,” Iran’s Ambassador to the UN Amir Saeid Iravani demanded another “emergency meeting” of the Security Council calling for condemnation “in the strongest possible terms” of the US actions and for it not to go “unpunished.”

“The Islamic Republic of Iran urgently requests the Security Council to convene an emergency meeting without delay to address this blatant and unlawful act of aggression,” Iravani wrote in a letter to UN Secretary General António Guterres.

In a press briefing, Tel Aviv’s Mayor Ron Huldai said the damage in his city was “very extensive but in terms of human life, we are okay.”

“Houses here were hit very, very badly,” he said, adding that “fortunately, one of them was slated for demolition and reconstruction, so there were no residents inside. Those who were in the shelter are all safe and well.”

In Nes Ziona, a town just south of Tel Aviv, a house was directly hit by a missile and the surrounding buildings destroyed, but, according to Israeli media reports, the families were in their shelter.

Israel’s home front command on Sunday put the country back onto emergency footing, days after some of the restrictions on commercial centers and larger gatherings had been eased.
