TEHRAN- Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Mojtaba Amani held a press conference at the Iranian embassy and announced that Iran will not let the United States and the Zionist regime take control of the region.

As reported by Tasnim News, Iran’s envoy emphasized that while Iran does not seek to expand the war, it will not allow the region to become prey to the U.S. and Israel.

Amani stated, “The attack on a Resistance figure in Tehran, and all the political developments, including the aggression in Beirut's southern suburbs, were under scrutiny.”

The Iranian ambassador warned that Israel will face repercussions for assassinating Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh, drawing parallels to past assassinations of Palestinian leaders.

Haniyeh who had participated in the swearing-in ceremony of the new Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Tehran on Tuesday was assassinated in his residence in Tehran early on Wednesday.
