Consultations on a ceasefire for the Gaza Strip don’t cancel Iran’s right to retaliate for the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau of the Palestinian movement Hamas, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani said.
"The issue has nothing to do with Iran’s legitimate right to retaliate against the aggressor," the Fars news agency quoted him as saying. Kanaani pointed out that Tehran "is not seeking to escalate tensions in the region and supports joint good faith efforts aimed at ensuring a ceasefire" in Gaza. "However, we reiterate Iran’s inalienable right to defend its rights and punish the aggressor," he added.
According to the Iranian diplomat, "no one questions the need for an immediate ceasefire" in the Gaza Strip. "In the past few months, Iran has been one of the countries doing their best to put an end to the brutal massacre," he noted. Kanaani emphasized that the ball was now in the court of Israel and the US.
