Iran has doubled down on its accusations against the U.S. and Israel following the killing of Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh, calling it a "heinous crime" that couldn't have happened without American support. 💥
🇮🇷 Iran's Fiery Claims at OIC Meeting
Caretaker Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani told leaders at an Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) meeting in Saudi Arabia that the July 31 strike on Haniyeh's Tehran residence was a "flagrant aggression" against Iran. He demanded UN action to hold Israel accountable, claiming the U.S. provided both a "green light" and intel for the attack.
⚠️ "Self-Defense" Warning
Bagheri Kani warned Iran might exercise its "inherent right to legitimate self-defense" if the UN Security Council doesn't act—hinting at potential retaliation "at the required time." The remarks come after Haniyeh, invited to Iran's presidential inauguration, was killed alongside his bodyguard in what Tehran calls an Israeli operation.
🌐 Why This Matters Globally
The escalating rhetoric puts Middle East tensions back in the spotlight, with Iran framing the attack as part of a broader pattern of "terrorist crimes" by Israel. As diplomats clash at international forums, young activists and geopolitics watchers are tracking how this could ripple through energy markets, regional alliances, and global security debates.
