Iran says it will not take 바카라 게임 웹사이트hasty action바카라 게임 웹사이트 against Israel for killing of Hamas political leader
Iran바카라 게임 웹사이트s pledged retaliation against Israel for the killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran will take time, according to a spokesperson for the country바카라 게임 웹사이트s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
바카라 게임 웹사이트Time is on our side and the waiting period for this response may be prolonged,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Ali Mohammad Naeini was quoted as saying on Tuesday by state media.
In an interview in the Iranian capital on Tuesday, Mohsen Rezaee, former commander-in-chief of the IRGC, told CNN that 바카라 게임 웹사이트the Iranian actions will be very calculated ones.바카라 게임 웹사이트
The Middle East has been on high alert since last month바카라 게임 웹사이트s assassination of Haniyeh in Tehran, which came the day after Hezbollah commander Fu바카라 게임 웹사이트ad Shukr was killed in an airstrike in Beirut.
Israel took responsibility for the killing of Shukr, but has not confirmed or denied its role in Haniyeh바카라 게임 웹사이트s death. A source familiar with the matter told CNN earlier this month that Haniyeh had been killed using an explosive device that had been covertly hidden in the guest house where he was staying.
Iran and its proxies 바카라 게임 웹사이트 Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza 바카라 게임 웹사이트 blamed Israel for both killings and promised to retaliate, spurring weeks of high-wire diplomacy to prevent the breakout of a full-scale regional war.
In his first statement after Haniyeh바카라 게임 웹사이트s death, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said of Israel, 바카라 게임 웹사이트You have killed our dear guest in our house and now have paved the way for your harsh punishment.바카라 게임 웹사이트 Hezbollah chief also said a response to the strike that killed Shukr was 바카라 게임 웹사이트inevitable.바카라 게임 웹사이트
But the comments from the IRGC spokesman, three weeks on from the twin killings, may indicate a cooling of Iran바카라 게임 웹사이트s earlier, more bellicose rhetoric.
Naeini said Iran바카라 게임 웹사이트s response could differ from previous operations against Israel, saying that Tehran will not take 바카라 게임 웹사이트hasty action.바카라 게임 웹사이트
바카라 게임 웹사이트For now, the Zionists must live in instability and Iran바카라 게임 웹사이트s response may not be a repeat of past operations,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트The response scenarios are not the same. Our commanders have the experience and the art of effectively punishing the enemy and will not take hasty action.바카라 게임 웹사이트
In April, Iran launched some 300 projectiles at Israel 바카라 게임 웹사이트 its first-ever direct attack on the country 바카라 게임 웹사이트 after blaming it for a strike on an Iranian diplomatic building in Damascus, Syria, which killed Mohammed Reza Zahedi, a top IRGC commander.
Naeini added that 바카라 게임 웹사이트the Zionist regime (Israel) has accepted the defeat, even American politicians have acknowledged this and have not yet achieved any of their goals,바카라 게임 웹사이트 referring to Israel바카라 게임 웹사이트s war in Gaza, which has been fought for more than 10 months with the aim of defeating Hamas and returning the hostages it took from Israel on Oct. 7.
Diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas ramped up after the twin killings of Shukr and Haniyeh, as Arab and Western officials sought to avoid an all-out war.
Speaking to CNN, Razaee, the former IRGC commander, said 바카라 게임 웹사이트there has to be a ceasefire in Gaza soon.바카라 게임 웹사이트
바카라 게임 웹사이트The United States and Israel should not repeat their mistakes. If in the first weeks of the Gaza war the United States had stopped Israel and (Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu the war would not extend. So the main element of the extension of the war are the U.S. and Israel. The more this war extends the more the United States will be damaged,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said.
Regarding Iran바카라 게임 웹사이트s response to Israel, Razaee said: 바카라 게임 웹사이트We have investigated the possible repercussions. And we will not let Netanyahu, who is sinking in a swamp, save him himself. The Iranian actions will be very calculated ones.바카라 게임 웹사이트
After talks resumed last week in Qatar바카라 게임 웹사이트s capital Doha, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday that Israel has accepted a proposal to bridge gaps in ceasefire negotiations, and that 바카라 게임 웹사이트the next important step is for Hamas to say yes바카라 게임 웹사이트 to the same terms ahead of further negotiations expected this week.
There have been some indications that Iran may abandon plans to attack Israel if a ceasefire deal is reached, but the country바카라 게임 웹사이트s mission to the U.N. said 10 days ago that Tehran바카라 게임 웹사이트s retaliation is 바카라 게임 웹사이트totally unrelated to the Gaza ceasefire.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Some officials have suggested that Tehran is dragging its feet, fearing that its response could trigger a wider war. One diplomat said he believed Hezbollah and Iran had 바카라 게임 웹사이트trapped themselves바카라 게임 웹사이트 in their own vows of reprisals.
