Iran’s mission to the United Nations said Sunday that Tehran was not involved in one of the deadliest attacks in Israel’s history when the Islamist group Hamas killed 700 Israelis and kidnapped dozens more.
“The decisive measures taken by Palestine are a fully legitimate defense against seven decades of occupation and heinous crimes by the illegal Zionist regime,” the UN mission to Iran said in a statement.
“We strongly defend Palestine, but we are not involved in Palestinian actions, as this is accepted exclusively by Palestine,” Iran’s UN mission said.
