Iran official: 'Israel will be severely punished so it does not violate Iran’s sovereignty again'
An Iranian judiciary official says that the response to the Israeli regime’s assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran will be more decisive than Operation True Promise which was launched to punish the Tel Aviv regime over its strategic blunder of attacking the Islamic Republic's diplomatic premises in Syria in April.
Kazem Gharibabadi, the Iranian Judiciary chief’s deputy for international affairs and secretary of the High Council for Human Rights, said on Sunday that the "Zionist regime will be severely punished."
“The Zionist regime will be severely punished so it won't dare to violate Iran's sovereignty once again,” he said in an interview with Al-Mayadeen channel on Sunday afternoon.
"The response to the assassination of Martyr Haniyeh will be more decisive than the Operation True Promise," he added.
"The crime committed by the occupiers shows their helplessness and the killing of innocent women and children in Gaza shows their failure," he pointed out.
Gharibabadi made the remarks four days after Israel with the support of the US assassinated Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian Hamas resistance group, who was in Tehran to attend Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's swearing-in ceremony.
The terrorist act followed another assassination by the Zionist regime that targeted Fuad Shukr, a senior commander of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, in Beirut.
On April 1, the Israeli regime carried out terrorist airstrikes on the consular section of Iran's embassy in the Syrian capital Damascus, which killed two IRGC generals, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi and General Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi, as well as five of their accompanying officers.
In retaliation, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) targeted the occupied territories on April 13 with a barrage of drones and missiles. The retaliatory strikes, dubbed Operation True Promise, inflicted damage on Israeli military bases across the occupied Palestinian territories.
