SHOTLIST: NEW YORK, US (JUNE 20, 2025) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL) 1. ISRAELI AMBASSADOR TO UN, DANNY DANON, ANSWERING JOURNALIST'S QUESTIONS OVER IRAN (English)NEW YORK, US - JUNE 20: Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, answered questions of journalists over Iran attacks just before the UN Security Council on Friday, June 20. "We will do our best to minimize civilian casualties," he said regarding Israeli attacks on residential areas in Iran. He also warned that civilians be away from military facilities. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday warned the Security Council that the confrontation between Israel and Iran is "racing" towards a crisis at an alarming rate and urged all parties to "give peace a chance." "Moments when the direction taken will shape not only the fate of nations, but the future of humanity. This is such a moment," Guterres said at an emergency session of the council on the hostilities between Iran and Israel, at the request of Algeria, China, Pakistan, and Russia. Guterres warned of the consequences of inaction amid growing hostilities in the region, saying: "The confrontation between Israel and Iran is escalating rapidly with a terrible toll – killing and injuring civilians, devastating homes, neighborhoods and infrastructure, and attacking nuclear facilities." Hostilities broke out last week when Israel launched airstrikes on several sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes. Israeli authorities said at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds injured since then in Iranian missile attacks. Meanwhile, in Iran, 639 people have been killed and more than 1,300 wounded in the Israeli assault, according to Iranian media reports.
