Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani dismissively rejected the call by the United Kingdom, France, and Germany yesterday (Monday) to avoid escalation in the region by attacking Israel directly or via its proxies, according to Iran state agency IRNA.
Kanaani stated that "The three European countries asked Iran not to carry out a punitive attack against Israel after the regime assassinated the Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran two weeks ago. Such rude requests lack political logic while they are also against international laws and principles."
