The Iranian Foreign Ministry has called for global action against Israel over the assassination of the “tireless Mujahid” Ismail Haniyeh, Press TV reports.
It said the attack on the political leader of Hamas in Tehran is another manifestation of the aggressive and law-breaking nature of the “criminal mafia ruling the occupied land of Palestine.”
The statement said the assassination of Haniyeh is a gross violation of international law.”
It said the criminal act is part of the broader campaign of genocide Israel pursues in Gaza and is aimed at increasing insecurity in West Asia.
The assassination of Haniyeh in Tehran came less than a day after Israel carried out a separate targeted strike against a senior Hezbollah commander in a suburb of Beirut, risking a major escalation with the Lebanese resistance movement.
