Interim Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani has expressed Iran’s “serious resolve” to bring Israel to account for its crimes and adventures that put the region at risk.

In posts on his X account early on Sunday, Bagheri Kani said that he had discussed regional developments with top Jordanian and Egyptian diplomats during his second telephone conversation with the pair in the past 48 hours.

“The situation in West Asia is particularly critical due to continued crimes and dangerous adventures of the ruling criminal gang in Tel Aviv,” he said.

“The regional Muslim countries should adopt a unified and decisive position and take coordinated measures to prevent the continuation of the genocide in Gaza and the expansion of the Zionist regime’s aggression in the region,” he added, stressing that “Iran’s resolve to hold the regime to account is serious.”

The remarks came four days after Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian Hamas resistance group, was assassinated in an Israeli attack on his residence in the Iranian capital Tehran.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said in a statement that the terrorist attack involved the use of a short-range projectile armed with a warhead weighing approximately seven kilograms.

The crime was planned and executed by Israel with the support of the US government, the IRGC added, warning that the Zionist regime would receive “a severe punishment at the appropriate time, place and manner.”

IRGC: Haniyeh assassination 'designed, executed' by Israel, supported by US

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was designed and executed by Israel, and supported by the US administration.

‘Hours before the act of terror in Tehran, Israel assassinated Fuad Shukr, a senior commander of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, in Beirut.

The dual-targeted killings come at a time when the occupying regime is waging a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, which has killed 39,550 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in the past 10 months.
