The foreign ministers of Jordan and Algeria have condemned Israel's move to assassinate Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of the Palestinian movement, Hamas, and the breach violation of Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Bagheri, in turn underscored that the Zionist regime has crossed the Islamic Republic of Iran’s red line by assassinating Haniyeh inside Iran, warning Tehran will definitely use its legitimate and inherent right to decisively and effectively punish the criminal Zionists.

Meanwhile Iran’s Bagheri spoke to Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman al-Safadi, where the two sides exchanged views on the repercussions of the terrorist move by the Zionist regime to martyr Haniyeh.

The Iranian diplomat stressed the Islamic Republic of Iran will certainly act according to law and justice against the notorious and criminal Zionist regime without any compromise.

Haniyeh and a member of his security team were killed in a strike on their residence in Tehran on Wednesday morning.
