Iran has rejected American and Arab efforts to tone down its response to the Israeli assassination of Hamas Political Bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.

On July 31, the IRGC announced the martyrdom of Haniyeh, who was on a visit to Tehran to attend the inauguration ceremony of Iran’s new President Masoud Pezeshkian

The WSJ cited people familiar with the talks as saying that Tehran informed Arab diplomats on Saturday that it is unconcerned if its response to the Israeli assassination leads to the outbreak of war.

According to the sources, the United States requested Europe and other allied governments to convey a message to Iran urging it to avoid escalation, warning that any major strike could provoke a response.

Washington also hinted that efforts by Iran’s new President Masoud Pezeshkian to enhance engagement with the West would stand a better chance if Tehran demonstrated restraint.

As part of its message to Iran, the US also claimed that it was urging “Israel” to de-escalate as well.

The Wall Street Journal pointed out that “Iran has refused to provide detailed warnings that would help mitigate the impact of any strike.”

Earlier, Al Mayadeen‘s correspondent in Tehran cited an informed Iranian source as saying that Iran considers Haniyeh’s assassination to be one of its red lines that was crossed, “regardless of the details of the operation,” indicating that it will handle the response accordingly.

That is why “Iran will respond in a way that crosses the red lines set by the Israeli occupation,” the informed source affirmed.

They also pointed out that “Iran will not yield to pressures and messages of de-escalation because any abandonment of retaliation will open the door to more Israeli aggressions.”

Iran vows stronger response than ‘Operation True Promise’: Exclusive

Kazem Gharibabadi, the Deputy Chief for International Affairs of the Iranian Judiciary, warned in an interview for Al Mayadeen that the Israeli occupation would face severe repercussions for its actions, such that “it would not dare to commit further acts of terrorism or violate Iran’s sovereignty.”

He emphasized that the response to Haniyeh’s assassination would be “more decisive than Operation True Promise,” referring to Iran’s April 13 retaliation to the Israeli aggression that targeted the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital Damascus on April 1.

Gharibabadi described the Israeli action as “an act of terrorism that defies international resolutions,” arguing that it reveals not the strength but the impotence of the Israeli entity.

He asserted that the killing of innocent civilians, including women and children in Gaza, demonstrates the defeat of the Israeli entity.

In the same vein, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, affirmed Sunday that his country “has not and will not leave any attack on its sovereignty unanswered,” stressing that the Israeli occupation and the United States “will regret their actions and will be forced to change their calculations.”

“The energy and youth of the Palestine movement mixed with the established anti-racist movement to produce a great event. It showed sympathy for the families of the bereaved and disgust at the far right’s attempt to take advantage of that loss.” The Right promised to be back on Sunday and again anti-racists will confront them

Iran to hit Israel hard again with smart power as US backs Israeli terror Killing in Teheran

Iran’s new ‘moderate’ leader needs to retaliate dissuasively to the Israeli killing of Haniyeh while avoiding tit for tat escalation and US intervention

Iran’s first direct response to Israel’s Terrorist attack in April ’24 was spectacular and mostly symbolic with detailed warnings avoiding casualties.. .https://thefreeonline.com/2024/04/13/live-reports-on-irans-massive-retaliation-attack-on-israel/

Amidst the cascading tensions in the Middle East we follow the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh by Israel and the vows of ‘revenge’ in Tehran.

Iran’s retaliation after Israel’s killings of Iranian leaders in April was a master stroke, with a public spectacle of 100’s of drone and missile attacks, with prior warnings, calculated to cause minimum damage or injury, along with a probable hypersonic attack, with warning, destroying a military base.

Iran’s clever response, along with US reluctance to join in, forced Israel for the first time to back down and stop its tit for tat terrorist escalation policy, enhancing Iranian prestige with the ‘global south’ majority.

Huge demonstrations continue by Israelis against ‘mad dog’ Netanyahu and his neo fascist military regime, even as he is feted and applauded in Washington.

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei has already ordered a direct retaliation strike on Israeli territory for the terrorist Haniyeh killing . Haniyeh was a key leader managing the shuttle diplomacy seeking a ceasefire in Gaza, and his elimination saves the Netanyahu faction from pressure as the ceasefire is shelved for now.

But what can Iran do to successfully stand up to Israeli terrorism, satisfy its supporters and allies, and avoid a bloody war with the west provoked by ‘mad dog’ Netanyahu?

And could Israel now even roll out a False Flag with its ‘Hannibal Option’ and massacre its own civilians to force a US vs Iran war?

In remarks at the Majlis on Tuesday after the swearing-in ceremony, new moderate President Pezeshkian reaffirmed that his government’s foreign policy will strive for constructive engagement with the world while upholding Iran’s national dignity and interests.

It is naive to believe that Israel acted on its own to attack Iran’s sovereignty, which is tantamount to an act of war, without some sort of US approval. It is this ‘known unknown’ factor that makes the situation very dangerous.

Israel also fears a renewed Iranian push for negotiations for a nuclear deal that might open a pathway for the removal of western sanctions as well as a vista of broad-based peace and cooperation.

Against this backdrop, the IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi has sought an urgent meeting with Pezeshkian

And the Israeli regime is desperate to change the media narrative away from the ongoing Gaza genocide and West Bank annexations.

Israel can no longer count on Western US instigated hatred and isolation of Iran. Even the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman congratulated Pezeshkian by phone on his election victory and last Thursday, the Saudi Minister of State handed over to Pezeshkian a letter from King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud expressing hope for more constructive steps in developing bilateral relations with Iran

Similarly, the historic Arab League delisting of Hezbollah recently shows the extent to which Saudi Arabia and other Arab states are moving away from Washington’s anti-Iranian positions.

The bottom line is, Pezeshkian’s call for regional unity to counter extremist influences. The Iranian leader proclaimed, “Radical voices should not drown out the voices of the nearly two billion peace-loving Muslims. Islam is a religion of peace.”
