STORYLINE:
Iran has vowed to respond with "power and decisiveness" to the targeted killing of Hamas’ top political leader, which it blamed on Israel.
The killing of Ismail Haniyeh in a Tehran explosion last week has raised fears of a major retaliatory attack and the outbreak of a wider war pitting Israel and the United States against Iran and allied armed groups across the Middle East.
Nasser Kanaani, the spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, said Monday that Iran has an "intrinsic right" to "guarantee its security and punish the aggressor."
He said Iran "will definitely take serious, deterrent actions" and that it would be acting in accordance with international law and the right of self-defense.
He added, however, that Iran "is not after intensifying tension in the region."
He urged the international community to support Iran in punishing Israel.
On Saturday, Iran said a short-range projectile was behind the killing of Haniyeh, who was in Iran to attend the inauguration ceremony of President Masoud Pezeshkian.
Iran says Israel carried out the attack with U.S. support and has vowed to avenge it.
Israel has not said whether it was involved.
