US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley slammed Syria for sending a drone into Israeli airspace on Saturday during a speech at the United Nations on Wednesday. "Earlier this week, Iranian-backed militias in southern Syria launched a drone into Israeli territory,” said Haley. "It was an egregious and unprompted escalation."
“Iran was once again doing what it does – risking conflict and testing the will of its neighbors and opponents to resist its aggression,” added the envoy. "Israel rightly took action to defend itself."
"The United States will always stand by our ally when confronted with provocations from Iran, Hezbollah, or the Assad regime."
