Referring to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that the Israeli regime would soon face the consequences of its terrorist action.
Issuing a message on Wednesday, the Iranian president expressed condolences to the Islamic ummah over the martyrdom of the chief of the political bureau of the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas Ismail Haniyeh.
The Zionist regime, which after months of killings, crimes, and destruction in Gaza, has been unable to get rid of the consequences of its historical policy based on occupation, terrorism, racial discrimination, and mass murder, this morning targeted Haniyeh in Tehran and martyred him in a terrorist attack.
He offered condolences to all the Resistance combatants the great nation of Palestine and the entire Islamic nation over the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh and his bodyguard.
“This terrorist act, like other crimes of the Zionist regime, violates international laws and regulations and shows the necessity of united action of the world, especially Islamic countries, to confront this criminal and occupying regime.”
“This crime was committed in Tehran when our dear brother Martyr Ismail Haniyeh was an official guest of the President and the Islamic Republic of Iran and had traveled to Iran to participate in the presidential swearing-in ceremony.”
The Islamic Republic of Iran will not shy away from protecting its territorial integrity, national sovereignty, honor, and authority, and the Zionist regime will soon see the results of its cowardly and terrorist actions, Pezeshkian concluded.
