Iran says attack on Israel legitimized by Katz's admission to killing Haniyeh
Iran's mission to the United Nations says the Israeli defense minister's admission to the Jewish state's killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran legitimizes Iran's October 1 attack on Israel.
"This brazen act underscores Israel’s role in terrorism, legitimizes Iran’s response on 1 October 2024, and reaffirms the Zionist regime as a serious threat to global peace, which must be stopped," the Iranian mission said in a letter to the UN Secretary General and the US Ambassador to the UN, the rotating president of the Security Council.
