Iran says 'no disagreement' among authorities on avenging Haniyeh's killing

IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News, citing an informed source, reacted to Iran International's report about President Masoud Pezeshkian's efforts to dissuade Ali Khamenei from attacking Israel, saying there's a "consensus" among Iran's authorities on avenging Haniyeh's death.

"There is not only no disagreement at the strategic level of the Islamic Republic, but there is also a rare level of determination, unity, and consensus among the country's officials," the source told Tasnim.

"The way Iran will respond will be decided at the highest level, specifically at the Supreme National Security Council, which is chaired by the President," the source added.

On Wednesday, Iran International exclusively reported that Pezeshkian had urgently appealed with Khamenei to abstain from launching an attack on Israel, warning of the catastrophic consequences such an action could have on his presidency.

Pezeshkian cautioned that an Israeli decision to retaliate forcefully against Iran's national infrastructure and energy resources could devastate the Iranian economy, potentially precipitating the country's collapse.
