Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has demanded “a deterrent response and revenge for the blood of Hamas’s political chief Ismail Haniyeh”, reports Al Jazeera.
“Tehran has not left any attack on its territory unanswered and will not do so in the future,” Ghalibaf was quoted as saying. “Our armed forces will teach the Zionist entity and its main supporter, the United States, a historical lesson.”
Iran’s IRNA state news agency also reported that Ghalibaf, speaking during a parliament session, said: “We do not doubt that the people and resistance forces and freedom seekers of the world will be happy with Iran’s smart and crushing response, and the Zionist regime, especially its supporter, the United States, will be forced to regret it.”
