Iran’s interim Foreign Minister says the Islamic Republic will “legitimately” and “decisively” make Israel pay for its crimes, including the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
In a telephone conversation with Belgian Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib on Saturday evening Ali Bagheri Kani said that the Israeli regime has destabilized West Asia with its strikes on Gaza and Lebanon and the “coward” assassination of Haniyeh on Iranian soil.
“In line with the defense of its national security, territorial integrity, and national sovereignty, the Islamic Republic of Iran will legitimately and decisively make the oppressive Israeli regime pay the price for its aggression under the international law and procedures as well as the UN Charter,” he pointed out.
For her part, Lahbib voiced deep concern over the unfolding developments in West Asia, saying, “Brussels is worried about the deterioration of the situation in the region as lack of control over the state of affairs will result in a full-blown war.”
