He condemned Israel’s efforts to undermine Iran’s efforts, including the assassination of martyr (Ismail) Haniyeh during his official visit, referring to the Hamas leader killed by Israel in Tehran. Pezeshkian underscored the importance of Islamic unity to oppose Israeli aggression, stating, “Muslim countries must enhance their defensive capabilities and cooperate to maintain peace and development in the region.”

Meanwhile, Turkish President Erdogan strongly condemned Israel’s attacks and extended condolences to Iranian civilians affected by the violence. He accused Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu of attempting to create chaos in the region.
