Israel’s alleged decision to blow up Hamas’s top political leader in Tehran who was in the country for the presidential inauguration of a potential moderate who could improve relations with the West, is its latest attempt to sabotage the new administration in Tehran so it will have to respond and then get labeled a terrorist regime in the pro-Israel media in the U.S.
Amir Saied Iravani, Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the UN, said Thursday that the assassination was par for the course for Israel, which has been destabilizing the region for decades. But he said, “Israel was also pursuing a political goal with this act, aiming to disrupt the first day of the new government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has prioritized strengthening peace, and stability in the region, and enhancing cooperation and constructive engagement with international community.”
Masoud Pezeshkian, Iran’s new president is a heart doctor and seen as a centrist and a reform candidate. Anadolu Ajansi reported: “Pezeshkian gave indications he would be more open to diplomatic engagement with the world, including the West, and intends to initiate reforms in economic and cultural domains.”
