Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, approached the head of Iran's delegation at the end of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to the U.N. General Assembly on September 24 and tried to give him the Starlink device Netanyahu had displayed during the speech. "Take the Starlink to Tehran. It could be very useful for you in Iran, helping the Iranian people gain their freedom," Danon told him, adding, "We love the Iranian people and pray for regime change. That day will come." Footage shows the Iranian representative ignoring Danon and refusing the device. Danon later posted: "The Iranian representative didn't want the starlink :("
