A decisive Iranian response to the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on its sovereign territory is the Islamic Republic’s right to self-defense, the country’s envoy Amir Saeid Iravani told the UN Security Council on Wednesday.
He spoke after The New York Times reports that Iran planned a direct attack against Tel Aviv and Haifa.
Israel has not claimed responsibility for the targeted assassination of Haniyeh Wednesday morning but did take credit for killing Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr.
Haniyeh’s assassination in Tehran was an “aggressive act of terrorism” and a “grave breach” of Iranian “sovereignty,” he said as he called on the UN Security Council to sanction Israel.
