Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is claiming that Iran was promised a ceasefire by American and European officials in exchange for not retaliating against Israel for their assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.

From Anadolu Agency, "Iran says US, European promises of truce for not responding to Haniyeh's assassination were 'false' ":
Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian said the promises of cease-fire made by Americans and Europeans if Iran did not respond to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh were "false."

He made the remarks during a Cabinet meeting in Tehran on Sunday evening, condemning the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Pertinently, Iran had vowed a strong response to the assassination of Haniyeh a day after he attended the swearing-in ceremony of Pezeshkian in the Iranian capital.

Nasrallah was targeted in a deadly bombing carried out by Israel in the southern suburb of Beirut on Friday. The Lebanese group confirmed his death on Saturday.

Pezeshkian termed it a "heinous crime," saying that it once again proved that the "criminal regime adheres to none of the international norms or frameworks."

He said the claims of American and European leaders, who had promised a "cease-fire in exchange for Iran not responding to the assassination" of former Hamas leader were "entirely false."
Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?



Clearly, Israel never got the memo (or did and didn't care).


If Pezeshkian is operating under the notion that Israel is a satellite state of America, as Hassan Nasrallah claimed in the past, clearly he's gravely mistaken.
