Iran and the ************ Islamist group ****** have accused ******* of carrying out strike that ******* Haniyeh.

******* has not claimed or denied responsibility for the ********, which has fueled concern that the war between ******* and ****** in the Gaza Strip was turning into a wider Middle East war.

Iran has vowed to “harshly punish” ******* over the **************.

Wang told Ali Bagheri Kani, Iran’s Acting Foreign Minister, that the ******** of Haniyeh had “directly undermined the Gaza ceasefire negotiation process and undermined regional peace and stability,” China’s foreign ministry said.

“China supports Iran in defending its sovereignty, security and national dignity in accordance with the law, and in its efforts to maintain regional peace and stability, and stands ready to maintain close communication with Iran,” Wang was quoted as saying.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Sunday nominated Abbas Araqchi as the country’s foreign minister. Araqchi had been Iran’s chief negotiator in nuclear talks from 2013 to 2021.
