Iran to use all capacities to respond to Haniyeh assassination; US has ‘undeniable’ role: Judiciary
Iran’s Judiciary says the United States is liable for prosecution as it has played an "undeniable role" in supporting and leading Israel which is engaged in acts of terror and mischief.
Asghar Jahangir, the Judiciary spokesman, made the remarks on Tuesday, almost one week after Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau of the Palestinian Hamas resistance group, was assassinated in the Iranian capital Tehran.
Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the assassination was designed and executed by Israel, with support from the US administration.
Haniyeh’s assassination in Tehran followed another assassination by the Zionist regime that claimed the life of Fuad Shukr, a senior commander of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, in Beirut.
Israel's terrorist acts come at a time when the occupying regime is waging a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, which has killed 39,623 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in the past 10 months.
Jahangir said Haniyeh and Shukr were martyred in “desperate and brutal” operations by Israel's fake and ominous regime, whose survival hinges on “organized assassinations and great acts of mischief against oppressed people.”
“The US’s role in supporting and leading this evil regime is undeniable, and it provides the ground for legal and criminal prosecution of the government [in Washington] in international bodies,” he asserted.
The spokesman further emphasized that the Islamic Republic will utilize all its domestic and international capacities to respond to Haniyeh’s assassination.
