French President Emmanuel Macron contacted Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday urging Tehran to exercise patience in its response to the Israeli assassination of the former Politbureau of Hamas, martyr Ismail Haniyeh. 

Haniyeh was killed in Tehran in a "treacherous Zionist airstrike on his residence in Tehran," Hamas announced last week. 

In response, Pezeshkian highlighted that Iran regards efforts to promote global peace and security and the avoidance of conflict as fundamental ideals, but would not remain silent in the face of violations of its national security and interests (and will respond) in adherence to international law. 

He blamed the Israeli regime for attempting to incite war in the area by assassinating Ismail Haniyeh, who was a guest in Iran.

Pezeshkian further chastised the United States and other Western nations for supporting the Israeli regime's genocidal crimes and acts of terror rather than criticizing them.

He emphasized Iran's right to respond appropriately against "Israel."

Pezeshkian further chastised the West for supporting the Israeli regime's genocidal crimes and acts of terror rather than criticizing them.

He emphasized Iran's right to respond appropriately against "Israel" and blasted the US for a "contradictory and dual approach" that supports 'Israel' which does not respect international law and conducts criminal acts in the region.

The Iranian president called it an unfortunate paradox that the West calls on victims of "Israel" to exercise self-restraint.

Pezeshkian told Macron that if the US and other Western nations truly wished to prevent destabilization and regional war, they must demonstrate their commitment by ending weapons sales to "Israel" and pressuring it to halt its genocide in Gaza and agree to a ceasefire. 

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.

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.

Israelis do not know what awaits them: IRGC

The spokesperson for the Iranian Islamic Revolution Guard Corps IRGC emphasized that there is "no doubt" that "Israel" will be the "loser from the cowardly" assassination of martyr Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas' former politburo chief.

"The Zionists do not know when, at what hour, on what day, or in what week, and how they will receive the response" for his assassination, said Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini.

During a speech in the port city of Bandar Abbas, southern Iran, the general pointed out that "all the occupied territories have become inflamed," also referring to the Resistance in the West Bank, adding that "the Zionists do not know what awaits them," and that they are living in constant fear.

The commander of the IRGC, Major General Hossein Salami, affirmed on Monday that the Israeli regime "will receive a decisive response" and "will realize [then] it miscalculated".

"They will see when, where, and how they will receive the response," IRGC's top chief said.
