Iran says has 'legal right' to punish Israel for Haniyeh killing
Iran said Monday it has the "legal right" to respond to the assassination in Tehran last week of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, an attack blamed on Israel amid the Gaza war.
"No one has the right to doubt Iran's legal right to punish the Zionist regime", Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani told a regular news conference.

Theoretically and out-of-context, perhaps so. But in-fact and in the present circumstances, "no" ... no, it is not and its consequential actions are not so protected under international law ... Tehran needs to read the word "defend" more slowly, as it is not understanding its legal meaning.
