Iran vows to make Israel 'regret' Haniyeh killing
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on Wednesday.
He said in a post on the X platform that his country will defend its territorial integrity and make those responsible regret their actions.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran will defend its territorial integrity, honor, pride and dignity, and make the terrorist invaders regret their cowardly action," said Pezeshkian in a post on X where he mourned Haniyeh as "a brave leader".
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed "harsh punishment" for Israel.
"With this action, the criminal and terrorist Zionist regime prepared the ground for harsh punishment for itself, and we consider it our duty to seek revenge for his blood as he was martyred in the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran," he said in a statement carried by official news agency IRNA.
