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.

According to The Iran Project, 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.”
