Iran’s foreign ministry criticized France, Germany, and Britain for calling for restraint towards Israel, calling it illogical and against international law. The European countries urged Iran and its allies not to attack Israel after the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran last month.
Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah have blamed Israel for the assassination, although Israel has not claimed responsibility. Tehran’s spokesperson, Kanaani, condemned the E3 statement for asking Iran not to defend its sovereignty against Israeli aggression.
Kanaani emphasized Tehran’s determination to deter Israel and called on Paris, Berlin, and London to take a stand against Israel’s actions in Gaza. The statement highlights the ongoing tension in the Middle East and Iran’s defiance against calls for restraint.
