Israel’s UN envoy warns Iran may ‘sow global chaos’ during US presidential transition

Israel’s UN envoy cautioned on Wednesday that the upcoming US presidential transition period poses elevated security risks, particularly from Iran. Ambassador Danny Danon warned that Tehran may exploit the two-and-a-half-month transition to intensify destabilising activities and “sow global chaos”. In an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, Mr Danon described Iran’s long-term goal as the destruction of Israel and regional destabilisation through financing, arming and directing terrorist proxies.
