Iran's foreign ministry condemned Israel after the assassination of Hamas' deputy chief Saleh al-Arouri in Lebanon on Tuesday.
Nasser Kanaani, the foreign ministry's spokesperson, said Israel resorted to the targeted killing after suffering "heavy and irreparable defeat" by Palestinian resistance, according to the Tasnim news agency.
He added the assassination was another proof that Israel was "founded upon assassination and crime" and a violation of Lebanon's sovereignty.
