Iran’s acting foreign minister has said the country will respond to the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh at the “right time” in the "appropriate" manner, following a day of intense diplomacy in the Middle East.
His comments came during an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), a group of states with Muslim-majority populations, which convened in Saudi Arabia to discuss Iran’s response to the killing.
The US said it hoped OIC members would caution Iran against taking “steps to escalate the conflict”.

Iran expects other Muslim countries to support it in its "legitimate right" to retaliate against Israel for the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh on its soil, acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani said on Wednesday.
ReplyDelete"It is expected that Islamic countries will support the inherent and legitimate right of Iran to give a legal and appropriate response to the Israeli aggression because Iran's action is not only meant to defend its own sovereignty and national security but also to defend the stability and security of the entire region," Bagheri Kani said.
