Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has again pledged that his country will respond to the assassination of Hamas’s political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Al Jazeera reports.

“Iran’s reaction to Israeli terrorist attack in Tehran is definitive, and will be measured & well calculated,” Araghchi wrote on X. “We do not fear escalation, yet do not seek it – unlike Israel.”

The minister said he made the remark in a conversation with Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani by telephone.
