Iran’s foreign ministry has said that calls for restraint regarding Israel from France, Germany and Britain “lack political logic and contradict principles of international law”, Reuters reports.
The three European countries issued a statement on Monday calling on Iran and its allies to refrain from attacks against Israel following the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, the political chief of Hamas, in Tehran last month.
“Without any objection to the crimes of the Zionist regime (Israel), the E3 statement impudently requires Iran not to respond to a violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Kanaani said.
Kanaani said Tehran is determined to deter Israel and called on Paris, Berlin and London to “once and for all stand up against the war in Gaza and the warmongering of Israel”.
