Israel envoy criticizes UN chief over Khamenei condolences
Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon criticized Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday after Iran’s Foreign Ministry said he expressed condolences over the death of Ali Khamenei.
“Mr. Secretary-General, do you truly believe it is appropriate to mourn Ali Khamenei, a brutal dictator who ordered the murder, torture, and persecution of tens of thousands of innocent Iranians?” Danon said in a post on X.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Guterres spoke with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Thursday and expressed condolences over Khamenei’s death.
