Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): In a newsletter of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the Hamas political office in Tehran, which was sent to the media, it is stated: Moscow strongly condemns the death of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the Hamas political office, as a result of a rocket attack on his residence in Tehran.
This ministry has focused all attention on the fact that this attack took place during the stay of the leader of Hamas in Iran, and he was on an official trip to participate in the ceremony of swearing allegiance to the elected president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia has noted: It is clear that the organizers of this murder knew what dangerous consequences this action would have for the entire region.
There is no doubt that the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh will have extremely negative effects on the process of mediation calls between Hamas and Israel, within the framework of which coordination of acceptable conditions for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip has been carried out.
This ministry once again strongly asked all involved parties to maintain their restraint and avoid steps that lead to a dramatic change in the security situation in the region and incite large-scale armed confrontations.
