The Chinese Foreign Minister says that China supports Iran’s right to defend its sovereignty, security and national identity.
According to “Reuters” news agency, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said this during a telephone conversation with Iran’s Acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri on Sunday.
The statement issued by the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that during the telephone conversation, the Chinese Foreign Minister reiterated his condemnation of the killing of the head of Hamas in Tehran on July 31.
Iran and Hamas have blamed Israel for the attack on Ismail Haniyeh. However, Israel has neither claimed responsibility nor denied involvement in the attack.
Does Iran need Pakistani missiles to attack Israel?
The death of Ismail Haniyeh in an alleged Israeli attack has raised fears that the war in Gaza could turn into a regional war.
Iran has expressed its determination to severely punish Israel for the death of Ismail Haniyeh.
Wang Yi told the Iranian Foreign Minister that “Ismail Haniyeh’s death has directly affected the ongoing negotiations to end the Gaza war and has threatened the stability and peace of the region.”
