Iran’s Acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani has said that Israel is taking aim at regional and international peace and security by assassinating Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh as the regime considers conflict to be only way for its survival.

According to The Iran Project, the Israeli regime's terrorist action to assassinate Martyr Haniyeh has taken aim at regional and international stability and security, and the Zionist regime believes that the only way to maintain its survival is to incite war and spread conflict among regional countries and against Palestinians”, the top Iranian diplomat said on Monday.

He made the comments in a meeting with foreign ambassadors in Tehran, briefing them on Iran’s stance on Haniyeh’s assassination which he said “the criminal gang ruling occupied Palestinian land” is responsible for.
