Israeli UN Ambassador Danon: Israel not in US-Iran Pakistan talks; Iran fired missile toward Diego Garcia — nearly 4,000km range

·New York, USA

Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon told UN reporters that as far as he knows, Israel is not part of any reported US-Iran talks in Pakistan. 'We continue to target military targets in Iran and will continue to do that.' Danon also revealed that Iran had recently fired a missile nearly 4,000km toward Diego Garcia — the UK-US Indian Ocean military base — contradicting Iran's FM who claimed weeks ago Iran had no missiles with >2,000km range.

Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon told UN reporters on Day 25 that to his knowledge, Israel is not part of the reported US-Iran talks in Pakistan: 'As we speak, Israel and the US continue to target military targets in Iran, and we will continue to do that.' He said the attacks have 'accomplished a lot but not everything.' Danon made a significant intelligence disclosure: Iran's Foreign Minister had claimed 'just weeks ago that Iran didn't have missiles with a range beyond 2,000 kilometers' — then launched a missile toward Diego Garcia, the remote Indian Ocean island hosting a major UK-US military base, traveling 'nearly 4,000 kilometers' (approximately 2,500 miles). This claim, if accurate, would mark the longest-range Iranian missile use of the entire conflict and demonstrate a dramatic discrepancy between Iran's public statements and its actual capabilities. Diego Garcia is located at approximately 7.3°S, 72.4°E — well into the Indian Ocean. Danon said in any ceasefire negotiations, Israel is 'determined to ensure that Iran has no nuclear or ballistic missile capability' — summarizing Israeli red lines that align with but go beyond the Trump 15-point framework.

Actor responses

IsraelNEUTRALDIPLOMATIC

Ambassador Danon at UN: Israel is not part of US-Iran Pakistan talks. 'We continue to target military targets in Iran and will continue to.' Israel's red lines: Iran must have no nuclear or ballistic missile capability. Reveals Iran fired missile ~4,000km toward Diego Garcia.

IranOPPOSINGINTELLIGENCE

Iran's FM claimed weeks ago no missiles beyond 2,000km range — Iran subsequently fired toward Diego Garcia (~4,000km). Danon's disclosure reveals Iran actively concealed long-range ballistic missile capability even as it deployed them. UK-US Indian Ocean base directly threatened.

United StatesNEUTRALDIPLOMATIC

Danon says Israel not in Pakistan talks — US negotiating separately from Israel's military campaign. 'Israel and the US continue to target Iran while talks are explored.' Dual-track: military strikes + diplomatic outreach simultaneously.
