Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations (UN) says the country seeks to make the Israeli regime regret committing its recent act of terrorist aggression against the Islamic Republic that led to the martyrdom of senior Hamas’ leader, Ismail Haniyeh.

The mission made the remarks on Wednesday in response to questions about allegations that the country could cancel its retaliation if Tel Aviv came to an agreement with Hamas that would bring about a truce in the regime’s ongoing war of genocide against the Gaza Strip.

“Firstly, realization of a stable ceasefire in Gaza and withdrawal of the occupiers from this territory,” it noted.

“And secondly, punishment of the aggressor over the assassination of Martyr Haniyeh, prevention of repetition of the Zionist regime’s acts of aggression, and making the Zionists regret entering this course [in the first place],” the mission concluded.
