Washington had always supported the Israeli government and consistently endorsed its crimes, thus also playing a role in this incident, it added.

The Foreign Ministry in Tehran reiterated that Iran had the legitimate right to respond in an appropriate manner to a crime committed on its own territory.
According to the Hamas militant Islamist organisation, Haniyeh was killed in an Israeli attack on a residence in Tehran on Wednesday morning.
Israel is yet to comment on the matter.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Washington had not been involved in Haniyeh’s violent death and had no prior knowledge of the killing.
