TEHRAN, Aug 3 (Bernama-IRNA) -- Iran’s acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani has urged the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to hold an extraordinary foreign ministerial meeting following the assassination of Hamas top leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
Iranian news agency IRNA reported Bagheri wrote on his official X account on Friday that in separate phone calls with the UN secretary general, EU foreign policy chief and his counterparts from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Egypt, Jordan, Russia, and Algeria, he has strongly condemned the assassination, warning about the consequences of the continuation of such crimes by the Zionist Israeli regime.
Haniyeh was assassinated in a predawn attack in Tehran on Wednesday as he had just attended the inauguration ceremony of Iran’s new president Masoud Pezeshkian.
While Hamas and Iran blamed Israel for the killing, Tel Aviv has not confirmed or denied its responsibility.
