Bagheri Kani made the call in separate phone conversations with Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty.

“By crossing red lines, committing flagrant terrorist aggression over the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh and violating the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the fake Zionist regime has posed serious threats to regional security and stability,” Bagheri Kani said.

The top Iranian diplomat stressed that the Islamic Republic would use its “inherent and legitimate right” to take decisive action against the occupying entity.


“An emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation is essential to address such blatant crimes in the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh and blatant violation of the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Bagheri Kani said.

The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and Egypt, for their parts, condemned in the strongest terms the assassination of the Hamas leader and said Tehran reserves the right to defend its territorial integrity.

Haniyeh was in Tehran to attend the inauguration ceremony of new Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Tuesday.

The Israeli assassination took place in the wee hours of Wednesday, with initial reports stating that the Hamas leader was targeted by a "guided missile" that struck his accommodation in the north of the Iranian capital.
