Iran's UN Mission Prioritizes Ceasefire in Gaza Amid US Message Exchange

In a recent statement, Iran's permanent mission to the United Nations emphasized the importance of establishing a lasting ceasefire in Gaza as their top priority. The mission confirmed that any agreement accepted by Hamas would also be accepted by Iran.

Iran (IMNA) - Addressing inquiries about a potential delay in responding to the Israeli regime until after next week's ceasefire talks, the mission clarified that their national security and sovereignty had been violated by a recent terrorist act from Israel. They asserted their right to legitimate defense, separate from the Gaza ceasefire discussions.

While the mission expressed hope for a timely response that does not obstruct potential ceasefire efforts, they highlighted existing direct and intermediary official channels of communication between Iran and the United States. The details of these communications are kept confidential by both parties.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps released a statement reporting the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh and one of his bodyguards in Tehran on July 31, attributing the act to the Zionist regime with alleged support from the US government. In response, high-ranking Iranian officials, including Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, pledged a fitting retaliation against the Israeli perpetrators for their "act of terror."
