Pezeşkiyan's exit from Haniye has stirred up Iran: US and European leaders lied to us.

According to Iranian state television, Pezeshkian spoke at the Cabinet meeting held last night. Referring to Israel's aggression in the region and its Western supporters, Pezeshkian stated, "The crimes of the Zionist regime are unacceptable and will not go unanswered."

"THE CLAIMS OF THE LEADERS OF THE US AND EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ARE FALSE"

Pezeshkian said, "The claims of the leaders of the US and European countries, who promised a ceasefire in exchange for Iran not responding to the assassination of Martyr Haniyeh, are completely false. Giving such criminals a chance will only encourage them to commit more crimes."

THE STATEMENT SPARKED DEBATE IN THE COUNTRY

The statements of the Iranian President led to discussions in the country, while a group that gathered in front of the Iranian National Security High Council building during the night demanded a response from the authorities regarding these statements.

THEY HAD DECIDED ON RETALIATION

Iran had decided on retaliation against Israel following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in the capital Tehran on July 31. During this time, claims had emerged that Tehran would abandon its intention to attack in exchange for a permanent halt to Israeli attacks in Gaza. However, the Tehran administration stated that "the decision to punish Israel, which threatens national sovereignty with its attacks, and the efforts for a ceasefire in Gaza are separate issues, but they hope not to harm the ceasefire process."
