US Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood has strongly condemned Iran’s “unprecedented attack” by “Iran and its militant proxies and partners” on Israel, according to the UN News.

“Iran’s intent was to cause significant damage and death in Israel,” he told the UN Security Council.

“Iran’s reckless actions not only posed a threat to populations in Israel, but also to other UN member states in the region, including Jordan and Iraq,” he said, asserting that the UNSC had an “obligation to not let Iran’s actions go unanswered”.

“Iran also was, in a broad sense, complicit in the October 7 attack on Israel because it has provided significant funding and training for the military wing of Hamas,” the US envoy claimed.
